This internal event is co-hosted by the Bristol Poverty Institute's Livelihoods and Debt Research Cluster and the Bristol Hub for Gambling Harms Research, and will bring together academics from the University of Bristol along with colleagues from some of the other GW4 institutions to explore the links between gambling-related debt, poverty, and other areas including illicit livelihoods, addiction, and criminal behaviours.
Internal event open to University of Bristol and colleagues from other GW4 institutions
We invite academics at all career stages and from any relevant discipline from any of the four GW4 universities to join us for a couple of hours of thought-provoking discussion on the links between poverty, marginalisation, gambling-related harms and other harms including illicit livelihoods, addiction, and criminal behaviours.
The aim of this event is to expose researchers to complementary research interests and expertise around the interconnected topics of poverty, marginalisation, gambling harms and other harms across the GW4 institutions and to identify potential spaces for synergy and collaboration in the future. We’re not only encouraging attendance from those whose work is already applied or relevant to these interconnected subjects, but also researchers whose work does not currently have any explicit link but could potentially be of relevance (even if it is a couple of steps removed – other colleagues may be able to bridge that gap).
