About our Speaker...
Tom Vander Ven is a sociologist who is interested in risky drinking and its attendant outcomes as a collaborative process and socially defined activity. He will discuss the ways in which students work together to decide when to drink, how much to drink, and how they manage crisis during a drinking episode. He uses his sociological imagination to connect the college drinking culture to larger social trends in American culture (such as parenting styles, and the "millennial" ethos) so as to propose explanations for the latent functions of drinking culture and to suggest poetential programming pathways that may be particularly effective for modern adolescents. Tom will discuss the variety of forms of "drunk support" and the ways in which drunk support might be drawn upon to contsturct harm reduction policy.
