      Project description

Over the past two decades there has been a considerable expansion of
interest in evening and night-time economies. This growing body of work
has emerged out of a number of disciplines, in particular criminology,
sociology, geography, cultural studies and town planning. While much of
the scholarship on the night-time economy has focused on young consumers
in town and city centres, the dynamics of race and cultural difference
have been relatively under-researched. This project provides an
important opportunity for a qualitative focus on race and ethnicity in
the night-time economy of London, a complex and diverse global city.

Possible topics might consider (but not be limited to):

  * embodiment, affect and emotion
  * space, dwelling and materiality
  * cosmopolitan and transnational engagements
  * whiteness and late-night leisure practices
  * non alcohol-related leisure practices
  * suburban night-time economies
  * late-night workers and cultural producers
