20th Dangerous Consumptions Colloquium
The Dangerous Consumptions Colloquium is an Australian and New Zealand event that has been running annually for two decades. It has been hosted at universities in both Australia and Zealand. The Colloquium invites researchers (as well as stakeholders and community groups) who take a cultural and critical social perspective to a diverse range of topics including alcohol, drug use, mass media and popular culture, gambling, the internet and social media, harm reduction, fossil fuels, pharmaceuticals, public health policy, and more. The underlying theme is, as the name suggests, investigating and critiquing dangerous forms of consumption and associated practices, harms, and policy responses.
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.
Event date: Thursday 21 November & Friday 22 November 2024
Time: 9:30am – 5pm daily
Getting to the Colloquium: The Alfred Centre is located at 99 Commercial Road (corner of Commercial Road and Punt Road), Melbourne VIC 3004 – view venue map here.
