Drugs and drug users have generated a complicated and enduring dialogue with political and social developments, often spurring robust debate, and often directing events throughout history. This conference will be a two-day interdisciplinary gathering of scholars studying a wide range of licit and illicit drug-issues. This conference is particularly interested in how drug and addiction-related subject matter has been historically constructed through literary, institutional, and popular discourse. The program committee invites critical and theoretical work from scholars in the Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as in other fields including Pharmacy, Biology, and Chemistry.
The conference seeks papers on an array of topics including, but not limited to the following:
„X Drugs, health, and community
„X The science of addiction (including drug treatment)
„X Drug laws and drug-usersˇ¦ rights
„X Crime, punishment and imprisonment
„X Drug subcultures
„X Drug consumption and identity
„X The construction of the ˇ§addictˇ¨ through racism and classism
„X Women and substance abuse
„X Drug trafficking and globalization
„X The rhetoric of drug consumption and/or prevention
„X The confluence of the war on terrorism and the war on drugs
Paper abstracts of roughly 250 words should be sent by email to Allan Borst (borst@illinois.edu) by November 15, 2008. Proposals will be read blind by the program committee. Please include ˇ§Self and Substanceˇ¨ in the subject line.
