The 9th Dangerous Consumptions Colloquium
UNSW, Coogee Campus, Sydney,
24th and 25th November 2011
MAP, PROGRAM
The dangerous consumptions colloquium is a forum for the presentation and discussion of research on the myriad forms of contemporary consumption. In past years presentations have explored alcohol, illicit drugs, gambling, sex, food, blood, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, public health, policy, celebrity magazines and pleasure from a social research perspective. Presentations on these or other forms of ‘dangerous consumption’ are welcome. The colloquium is run over two days with only a single stream of papers (there are no concurrent sessions). This gives participants the opportunity to share ideas and understandings from research into a range of dangerous consumptions and from a range of theoretical perspectives. This year’s colloquium is co-sponsored by the Kirby Institute and the National Centre in HIV Social Research.

The call for abstracts closes on the 17th of October. The suitability of the paper will be reviewed by the organising committee, with authors advised of the status of their paper by the 21st of October.
