It All Adds Up: Changing Models of Alcohol Harm
Abstract: A few weeks ago, the Coalition announced its intention to follow
Scotland and introduce minimum unit pricing for alcohol in England and
Wales. Minimum pricing is the latest development in state efforts to
reduce alcohol harm that go back centuries. Taking a long historical
perspective, this paper will look at how government policies on drink have
reflected changing ideas about the nature of alcohol, and how those ideas
relate to wider notions of risk, freedom and physical wellbeing.
All seminars will take place in the Wellcome Library, 2nd floor, 183
Euston Road, NW1 2BE. Please deposit bags and coats in the ground floor
cloakroom and meet in the 2nd floor foyer. Doors at 6pm prompt, seminars
will start by 6.15. There will be an opportunity for discussion over wine
following the seminar.
The next seminar takes place on Wednesday 2 May:
Dr Katherine Watson (Oxford Brookes University)
