    This fully funded PhD position at Glasgow Caledonian University will explore the connections between fatherhood, masculinities, and alcohol use through qualitative research methods. The student will interview or conduct focus groups with men from various social classes and with children of different ages to understand how fatherhood impacts their drinking behaviors and identities. Key questions include how men perceive drinking in the context of parenthood, if and how their drinking has changed, and how masculinity constructions influence alcohol consumption. The supervisory team has experience in qualitative research, masculinity studies, and parenting. The findings aim to benefit gender and alcohol researchers, policymakers, and practitioners by providing new insights into high drinking rates and the father-child relationship.

    PhD studentship (fully funded), Glasgow Caledonian University EXPLORING CONNECTIONS BETWEEN FATHERHOOD, MASCULINITIES & ALCOHOL USE:

    A QUALITATIVE STUDY Deadline for application: 15 April 2013 We invite applications for a fully funded PhD studentship (fees paid for EU students plus 13,600 annual stipend plus 1000 for conference attendance or training). While mothers drinking has attracted attention from researchers, fatherhood has rarely been studied in relation to alcohol consumption. This PhD will explore how men across the social class spectrum, with children of different ages, perceive and (re)negotiate drinking in the context of fatherhood. It will use qualitative methods (probably individual interviews or focus groups, depending on the interests and skills of the successful applicant) and address some of the following questions: what meanings do these men attach to drinking? (How) has their drinking changed since they had children? Do they perceive drinking as a way of coping with the demands of parenthood? How do constructions of masculinities impact on their alcohol consumption? Understanding the role that alcohol plays in gendered identity construction may help address high rates of drinking and uncover aspects of the father-child relationship that are currently unclear. The findings of this study will be of interested to gender and alcohol researchers, policy makers and practitioners. In addition, it is anticipated that the findings will have implications for both parenting and alcohol-related interventions. The supervisory team has substantial experience of qualitative research, researching masculinities and parenting research. Primary supervisor: Dr Carol Emslie (http://www.gcu.ac.uk/hls/staff/drcarolemslie/). Secondary supervisors: Dr Lisa Kidd and Dr Kerri McPherson.
