This research seminars will see a talk hosted by the University of Sheffield's Dr. Adam Carter.

Adam joined the Department of Sociological Studies in 2019 as Research Associate on the ‘Brexit and Everyday Family Relationships’ project, led by Dr Katherine Davies. This explored how families negotiated the politics of Brexit in their everyday lives, and traced how Brexit’s influence mapped onto and worked through established family practices. The research drew on a suite of qualitative, ethnographically-inspired methods including interviews, diaries and ‘Gogglebox’ video observations.

Previously, he completed his PhD at Goldsmiths, University of London, under the supervision of Dr Vik Loveday and Professor Monica Greco, on how the live stand-up comedy environment is permeated by social power relations. While completing the PhD, Adam taught on undergraduate programmes about value and identity, culture and communication, and social theory. He also convened a module at Birkbeck, University of London on ‘Class’ from a psychosocial perspective.
