About this Event

Researching risk brings a variety of ethical and methodological challenges, including how we access risk-informed information practice, how we present risk data in an ethical way, and how we protect ourselves as a researcher. In this session, Dr Alison Hicks will present a variety of challenges posed by risk research and lead a discussion on how best to address these.

Dr. Alison Hicks (she/hers) is a qualitative information literacy researcher who studies how we become informed in academic, health, workplace and everyday contexts. Alison is particularly interested in risk-informed information practice, which refers to how information literacy shapes the conceptualisation, construction, and experience of risk, most recently in relation to questions of censorship and book-banning. Alison's extensive research has been published in monograph and article form; she has also keynoted and offered invited presentations at a range of UK and European conferences and institutions.
