This module brings together key thinkers, debates, and cutting-edge research on how society engages with uncertainty and risk. Diverse research methodologies and interdisciplinary skills will be applied in practical case studies to demonstrate the challenges experts in these subjects face with working on globally complex problems. In this module we discuss the challenges of integrating interdisciplinary data sets, and we examine the potential for more deliberative and participatory engagement with stakeholders. The module adopts a problem-based learning approach, using case studies of specific current interest.
