D R I N K I N G & D R U G S D I V I S I O N SUMMER 2013 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Dear Members, I hope you are all looking forward to the meeting next month. It’s going to be a busy one for the division—we received so many good papers that we had to add an extra session. That means we will have nine (9!) sessions running from first thing Friday morning until noon on Sunday. In addition to Division-sponsored regular sessions, we have one session in the new critical dialogue format, and we have several that are co-sponsored with other divisions. On Saturday, August 10th, our Division reception, held jointly as always with the Alcohol, Drugs & Tobacco section of the ASA, will happen at Kabin Bar & Lounge on the Lower East Side. There we will have a chance to socialize and catch up with each other, and we will present awards for outstanding Senior Scholar and Student Paper. Please see inside for detailed information on the Division’s annual meeting schedule, along with job postings, publication announcements and other news. I look forward to seeing everyone in New York!

Sifaneck (1966-2013) Steve Sifaneck passed away suddenly on May 19, 2013. He leaves behind a rich legacy as a drug researcher, teacher, and sociologist. The bulk of Steve’s research focused on ethnographic studies of marijuana and heroin use in New York though his work also extended to drug policy in the Netherlands and Mexican American gangs in Texas. Trained as a sociologist, he was a strong believer in utilizing a range of qualitative approaches, including photography, participant observation, and in depth interviews. He received a PhD from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and completed post-doctoral training at National Development and Research Institutes, Inc. (NDRI). His most active years as an ethnographer were between 1995 and 2007 while employed at NDRI. His contributions to the field of drug research are numerous, but several include the theory of “stepping off” hard drugs in the context of Dutch cannabis policy, marijuana markets in New York City, accessing hidden populations of drug users, and blunt smoking practices. Steve had a long history of teaching and mentoring students since the early 1990s, but began a full-time teaching position at Berkeley College in the Justice Studies Program in 2008. His courses covered a range of topics, including substance use, policing, criminal justice, and qualitative methods. His years of work as an ethnographer offered his students keen insights into the lived experiences of drug users, the social context of buying, selling, and using drugs, and the mechanisms of social control. In addition to his formal role as a college professor teaching undergraduates, Steve was an influential mentor to numerous graduate students and post-docs over the years as a reader of theses/dissertations, a guide to drug scenes in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and an advisor to discuss a range of field issues related to ethnographic methods. Steve was a regular and important contributor to the annual meetings of the American Sociological Association and the Society for the Study of Social Problems. As a presenter, Steve’s talks were often rooted his orientation towards visual sociology and included photos and insights from his fieldwork. As a moderator, he was rarely shy about disagreeing with colleagues or offering constructive comments. Steve frequently played a behind-the-scenes role in organizing the joint receptions held by the Alcohol, Drugs, and Tobacco/Drinking and Drugs sections. He took great pride in choosing off-the-beaten path venues that members would find unique and entertaining. Steve will be deeply missed at this year’s joint reception to be held in his home city of New York, which he had spent months planning and was greatly anticipating. Thanks to Steve Lankenau for writing and sending this tribute.
