[Air-L] Risk awareness and aversion in online spaces

Wed Dec 3 12:29:32 PST 2014

There's lots of thinking about this in relation to children's online risk and safety, including analyses of young people's 'risky behaviour' (e.g. http://eprints.lse.ac.uk/27072/) and how parents and teachers view this...

Best, Sonia

Hi Sara,

Thanks again for reaching out.

I noticed much of the research in the medical literature and was trying to understand how it impacts our area of focus.

I'm thinking that at the start of the new year, I might like to bring in interested parties from this listserv to hold an informal Hangout-on-Air chat to discuss exactly what is "risky behavior" in online spaces. You'll be at the top of my list if we call that together.

Thanks again,
-Ian
