We were delighted to have Prof Paul Slovic give a seminar in IHRR as well as a public lecture at Durham University. Below is an audio recording of Paul’s seminar ‘The Feeling of Risk: New Directions in Risk Perception’. A video of Paul’s public lecture will be available on IHRR’s website and posted on this blog in the near future.
For those who are unfamiliar with Paul Slovic’s research, this seminar gives a good introduction to his work in human judgment and how people perceive risk.
