4th Contemporary Drug Problems Conference (CDP 2017)
Conference theme: 'Making alcohol and other drug realities'
Abstract submission deadline: 1/3/2017
Building on CDP's three previous conferences, which have opened up questions of how drugs are problematised; how the complexity of drug use might be attended to and managed; and how drug use might be understood as event, assemblage or phenomenon, we now seek submissions for presentations that critically explore and debate the issues posed when we approach science, policy, treatment, law and other practices as constituting the realities they seek to address.
Possible topics include consideration of the realities constituted in or by:
- Prohibition and international drug conventions
Mandated treatment
Drug courts
Alcohol and other drug policy
Education/health promotion in schools and universities
Harm reduction services and measures
Neuroscientific approaches to drug effects and addiction
Monitoring/surveillance systems
Research on drug trends
Quantitative measures of alcohol and other drug use
Qualitative concepts of subjectivity, agency, affect, identity
Post-qualitative research methods
Consumer accounts and narratives of drug use, addiction and recovery
Medical and other forms of diagnosis/assessment
Treatment models and practices
Youth and other drug services
Social media websites and apps
Popular culture enactments of drug use
Other relevant topics welcome.
