Jamie Wardman is Assistant Professor of Risk Management at Nottingham University Business School, UK. His research is primarily focussed on the sociology of risk and the theory and practice of risk communication as this relates to such issues as organisational operations, science and technology controversies, emergency preparedness, crisis response, public policy, and health and safety. He is particularly interested in how sociocultural perspectives on risk and its representation can help inform risk management policy design, operations and evaluation.
