This one day conference will bring together academics and researchers working on issues related to alcohol, embodiment and social difference from diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives. We welcome papers from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, including but not limited to sociology, history, geography and addiction studies, and from PhD students and early career researchers.
Topics of interest include:
- The embodied experience, management and regulation of drinking across diverse forms of social difference (e.g. ethnicity, age, gender, class).
- The representation of intoxication and drunken or addicted bodies in the news media and in popular culture.
- Methodological challenges involved in researching the embodied, sensory nature of drinking.
- The embodied nature of addiction, treatment and recovery.
