Online Talk – Towards a Socio-History of Occupational Risk

                Dear all,

The Chair of Science, Technology and Gender Studies at FAU Erlangen-N=FCrnb=
erg, headed by Prof. Maria Rentetzi, invites you to participate in the firs=
t event in its new STGS Colloquium series.

On Thursday, January 20, at 18:00 CET, Dr. V=E9ronique Stenger (University =
of Geneva) will give a talk entitled =93Towards a Socio-History of Occupati=
onal Risk: Logics and Conflicts in the Development of Radiation Protection =
in Uranium Mines.=94

Abstract:
While the radioprotection of other categories of workers was being signific=
antly extended nationally and internationally since the 1950s, most of the =
countries extracting uranium did not adopt any radiation protection legisla=
tion for miners until the end of the 1960s. Using risk as an analytical cat=
egory, Dr. Stenger will examine the socio-genesis of radioprotection in ura=
nium mines, crossing national and international scales.
