From hooking up to staying in? Women negotiating appropriate sexuality in nightlife with age
While much research has explored contemporary constructions of young women’s sexuality, few studies have been sensitive to how age influences women’s sexuality in the context of mainstream nightlife.

I found that nightlife was an increasingly difficult space t…

We analyse how the egalitarian context shapes the con…
Maturing out of ‘binge drinking’

The analysis is based on qualitative interviews with 19 Norwegian wom…

The article is based on 50 in-depth qualitative interviews with Norwegian women aged 18–34 ye…
