No âmbito do ciclo de Seminários "MUNDOS JUVENIS" 2011/2012 coordenado por Maria Manuel Vieira e Vítor Sérgio Ferreira ( ICS-UL), decorre dia 14 de Março de 2012 às 17.30 na Sala de Aulas 1 do ICS a sessão BINGE DRINKING AS EPISODIC YOUTH CULTURAL PRACTICE: Some insights from a German research project, por Barbara Stauber da Universidade de Tübingen.

"Whereas the phenomenon of public binge drinking among young people all over Europe has nurtured the discourses on "youth at risk" as well as on "youth as risk", only few studies have tried to get insights into the collective and subjective meaning of such riskfull practices. A current qualitative research project in Southern Germany carries out a follow-up-study on heavily drinking youth and allows for first careful results, which point to binge-drinking as an episodic phenomenon rather than to the creation of a new generation of alcohol addicts."

Barbara Stauber ensina pedagogia social na Universidade de Tübingen. A sua investigação actual centra-se na área das transições biográficas, género e diversidade, e práticas culturais da juventude.
