Pint of Science is an annual worldwide science festival, bringing university academics in 500 towns and cities around the world, into local pubs and bars to talk about their research in an informal setting. The events are designed to encourage two-way conversations with the public.
The programme includes two sessions with researchers across the school:

Self, Selfies and Sex Work
Amy Gunn (Postgraduate researcher, Sociological Studies, Politics and International Relations )
Online content creation, for social media and platforms like Only Fans, requires strategic presentation of self; to transform into income, and to avoid 'deplatforming'. This is juggled alongside bigger contexts of stigma, authenticity and gig economy for adult industries. Amy shares insights from her PhD project, exploring the labours of creating (explicit) content online.
18 May, Sheffield Tap
