This podcast was recorded by the LSE as part of their series, Thinking like a Social Scientist.

Risk, ethics and public sensitivities
Speaker: Professor George Gaskell
This event was recorded on 28 January 2010 in Hong Kong Theatre, Clement House

In this lunchtime series of lectures, a selection of LSE’s academics from across the spectrum of the social sciences explain the latest thinking on how social scientists work to address the critical problems of the day. They survey the leading ideas and contributions made by their discipline, explain the types of problems that are addressed and the tools that are used, and explore the kinds of solutions proposed.
