Gambling and Households: New Gambling Directive at Mass Observation Archive

This research project seeks to improve understandings of gambling within domestic contexts. The Principal Investigator is working in collaboration with Mass Observation Archive at Sussex University to collate a major new body of qualitative data into gambling and family life in the UK.
The objectives of the research are fourfold:

to produce a socio-cultural analysis of gambling which moves beyond conventional psychological and economic approaches
to examine the role of the household in mediating and facilitating gambling
to work in collaboration with Mass Observation Archive (MOA) to develop a major new directive on the theme of gambling
to contribute a major new qualitative dataset on gambling and households and communicate this to other key stakeholders.
