Beck's hugely influential 1986 work, Risk Society: Towards a New
Modernity, reframed risk as a sociological category, and his concept of
"reflexive modernization" fundamentally reshaped both theoretical and policy
discussions concerning science and technology. In his lecture, Beck will
draw on his recent work on the uncertainties and ambivalence of contemporary
cosmopolitan societies to explore global responses to the risks of climate
change.
This event is co-sponsored by the Harvard University Center for the Environment,
