Autorenporträt

Peter J. Howland is a former tabloid journalist by mistake, an anthropologist by training, a sociology lecturer at Massey University, Aotearoa New Zealand, by occupation, and a neo-Marxist by analytical and moral compulsion. He has long-standing research interests in wine production, consumption and tourism and their role in the evolving constructions of middle-class identity, distinction, leisure, elective sociality, constructions of place, and reflexive individuality. He is author of Lotto, Long-drops & Lolly Scrambles: An Anthropology of Middle New Zealand (2004); editor of Social, Cultural and Economic Impacts of Wine in New Zealand (Routledge, 2014); and co-editor (with Assoc. Prof. Jacqueline Dutton, University of Melbourne) of Wine, Terroir and Utopia: Making New Worlds (Routledge, 2019). In 2019 he was appointed as a founding editor of the series Critical Beverage Studies for Routledge UK.
