主讲人简介：
Alison Browne is a Research Fellow at the Sustainable Consumption Institute and Lecturer in Human Geography at The University of Manchester. Alison has a number of active and interdisciplinary research projects on everyday practice and sustainable consumption; dirt, cleanliness and freshness; and the governance of water resources, drought, and climate change adaptation. Alison is the 'Knowledge Exchange Coordinator' for the SCI, with knowledge exchange and 'co-produced' interdisciplinary, stakeholder engaged science strongly defining much of her work.
Alison’s current research is structured around the following research projects focused on transitions towards sustainable water consumption, demand management, and climate change adaptation.

主要内容：
The concern that water demand/use may outstrip supply (relative to deterioration of water quality and quantity) is a global concern. One aspect of the increasing demand of water is a dynamic social and material landscape of cities and households which are influencing mundane everyday practices such as laundry, cooking, personal bathing, gardening and household cleaning. Alongside these transformations of material infrastructures of cities and households are a changing set of expectations – for example in regards to expectations of cleanliness and comfort – as well as changing sets of practices related to cleanliness in everyday lives. This presentation is a brief account of the histories, trajectories and patterns of water using practices related to personal bathing and cleanliness in the UK and China. As such, this presentation will consist of two sections. The first reflects on recently completed research – steeped in theories of practice – that used quantitative and mixed methodologies to explore the diversity and patterns of practices at a population level. Such research revealed the way that historical low-resource consuming ways of doing cleanliness in the UK are being ‘fossilised’, as well as the rise of ‘the hyperclean’. The second part of this paper reflects upon preliminary reflections from archival research that explores the dynamics of changing social and material urban landscapes in hina, which when combined with altered expectations around hygiene and cleanliness, may be shaping trajectories of water consumption (and related everyday practices) at a population level in substantial ways.
