Biography
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; gifting and commodity economies; and so on. In 2019, he was appointed as a founding editor of the series Critical Beverage Studies for Routledge UK.
