> Hi all,
>
> A student of mine is interested in looking more closely at the notion of
> "girl beers", "girly drinks", and other gendered constructions of alcohol
> (and food) products and consumption. Does anyone have any recommendations
> about research that has looked at similar topics, either dealing
> specifically with alcohol or with the broader gendering of food? (Hines'
> paper on gendered metaphors and food is the only thing that comes to mind.)
>
> Suggestions for work in the area of language and gender preferred, but I'd
> also greatly appreciate broader approaches that may be relevant (e.g.,
> Carol J. Adams' work on the gendered politics of meat, Rozin et al. 2012
> <http://www.jcr-admin.org/files/pressPDFs/032212085321_Rozin.pdf>).

> Thanks in advance!
