Does Safety Have A Soul?

June 28, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 3 Comments

Does Safety Have A Soul? In Chapter 1 of my latest book Envisioning Risk, Seeing, Vision and Meaning in Risk , I discuss the linguistics of ‘soul’ in art, music and movies.

When Only More Guilt Will Do

June 28, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

I Chose to Look The Other Way - When Only More Guilt Will Do The idea that I am my brother’s keeper (https://safetyrisk.net/safety-as-a-patriarchal-activity/) is a psychological attachment infused in the theology of safety. How interesting that safety is apparently a ‘choice I make’ yet the … [Read more...] about When Only More Guilt Will Do

A Poetic Worldview

June 28, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 12 Comments

Someone asked me the other day what was the opposite of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). An interesting question because it begs a binary answer. One might think the opposite of STEM is the Arts and Humanities but I don’t think that really captures the difference enough. When ones … [Read more...] about A Poetic Worldview

Power and Influence Through Poetics in Risk

November 18, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

I wrote about vision in Envisioning Risk, Seeing, Vision and Meaning in Risk . Without Vision there is no learning, no ‘thought leading’ or humanising in risk. Using the word ‘vision’, doesn’t make one visionary, using the word ‘learning’ doesn’t mean learning, using the word ‘difference’ doesn’t … [Read more...] about Power and Influence Through Poetics in Risk

Do Not Go Gently, SPoR and the Civility Myth

September 8, 2022 by Dr Rob Long 7 Comments

Continuing our series on Safety Myths – see them all here Dylan Thomas captures the criticality of facing death, in the throes of life, in his classic poem: ‘Do not go gentle in to that good night’.

Poetics of the Self

August 7, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

When it comes to risk and safety, method is critical. Brutalizing and dehumanizing people to get a safety outcome doesn’t work (https://www.humandymensions.com/product/it-works-a-new-approach-to-risk-and-safety/ ). The best way to ensure a humanizing outcome in safety is to move away from zero, … [Read more...] about Poetics of the Self

Is Your Ethic of Risk Poetic?

January 12, 2022 by Dr Rob Long 2 Comments

Is Your Ethic of Risk Poetic? I define risk as ‘the faith and trust required to suspend uncertainty to act’. When we discuss Ethics and Risk we must reflect on our worldview and how we are disposed and oriented towards risk.
