He's had quite an evolution since his days on the left: Scientific Advisory Forum Bill Durodié is Senior Lecturer in Risk and Corporate Security at Cranfield University. He was previously Director of the International Centre for Security Analysis, and Senior Research Fellow in the International Policy Institute, within the War Studies Group of King's College London. His main research interest is into the causes and consequences of our contemporary consciousness of risk. Other interests include the growing demand to engage the public in dialogue and decision-making in relation to science. Bill was educated at Imperial College, the London School of Economics, and New College Oxford. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts (FRSA), an Associate Fellow of Chatham House (the Royal Institute of International Affairs), an Associate of the Royal College of Science (ARCS), and a Member of the Society for Risk Analysis. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
