Editor’s Note: This post marks the launch of our latest feature: Drinking Studies Showcase, where we spotlight the work of those within the Drinking Studies Network.
I was very privileged to sit down with Rebecca Lemon, Professor of English at the University of Southern California, to discuss her recent special issue for English Language Notes titled ‘Addictions‘ which she guest-edited.
Grab a coffee, a biscuit, and watch 40 minutes of discussion on, but not limited to: the humanist turn in addiction; ‘positive addictions’; connections between artistry and addiction; and, Rebecca’s experiences of guest-editing a special issue.
