title = "Transitioning from Home to University: Navigating Liminality Through Student Food Practices",
abstract = "This study focuses on the food practices of young people transitioning into emerging adulthood at UK universities. In the United Kingdom, the move to university often involves a move away from a family home, where feeding the family and the work this entails largely falls upon the mother (Cairns and Johnston 2015). As students begin their university life, they also face the challenge of shopping, cooking and catering for themselves for the first time. Viewing student life as a transitional space, this paper explores the ways in which students develop food practices to navigate this transitory period and in particular the way they connect to family and friends as part of this process ",
