Abstract
This collection of essays explores the concept of risk in both theory and practice as it is actualized in and through the broad lens of education. Our main argument holds that analyzing risks through multiple perspectives on risk itself and on education is crucial for a rich elucidation of the enactment of risk. The topic of risk has gained much prominence in contemporary social science theory, particularly within European sociology. While varying epistemological stances interpret and position conceptions of risk theory quite differently—as will be described later in this chapter—there is no question that the multifaceted nature of risk has mobilized a set of linguistic repertoires, everyday understandings, and government policies which have altered the patterns of social relationships and provided a powerful standpoint from which to examine contemporary societal change.
