DRINKING & DRUGS DIVISION Winter 2017 _________________________________________________________________________________ 68th Annual Meeting August 10-12, 2018 Abolitionist Approaches to Social Problems Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown Hotel Philadelphia, PA MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Dear Drinking & Drugs Division members, I hope this email finds everyone well. We are excited to share the Winter 2017 edition of the Division newsletter! I first want to thank everyone for all the thought-provoking papers and creative dialogue at our 2017 meeting in Montreal this past August. The meeting was very well attended, and featured a range of sessions engaging many of the salient substance use and policy issues we continue to face and respond to with a critical, intellectual, practical and humanistic lens. Our Division members presented excellent papers that involved listening to, and learning from, those impacted by drugs and drug policy, especially people who use drugs. Unfortunately, we in the U.S. remain in a policy environment that promotes the stigmatization, marginalization and criminalization of many disadvantaged people, including individuals who use psychoactive substances, whether to manage various forms of physiological, psychological or social pain or for other reasons. During 2017, on a national level, the number of opioid-related overdose deaths continued to rise; illicitly- produced fentanyl and fentanyl analogs increasingly appeared as contaminants in a wide range of drugs and drug formulations; medical and recreational marijuana controversies endured; and the use of novel psychoactive substances continued to be under-researched. Moreover, this constellation of practices and responses is promoting and reinforcing unintended negative health consequences, including the spread of HIV/HCV/STIs and the incidence of drug overdose. We are still in a climate where solutions to substance-related problems almost exclusively target individuals (in the form of drug treatment, for example), rather than the larger historical, social and structural inequalities that are often the root causes of individuals’ substance use-related health, legal and social challenges. On a positive note, more and more research is emerging on the efficacy of Medication- Assisted Treatment for Opioid Use Disorders. Our collective work helps address this problematic via education, the dissemination of research findings, policy engagement, direct service and outreach, and most importantly, evidence-based research and empathy. I am sure we will carry this important work forward even in changing and challenging political climates and discourse. That all said, we can help build momentum in the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, for the 2018 SSSP conference. Like many other communities, Philadelphia has an extremely high rate of opioid-related overdose mortality. We hope to work collectively as a group to provide suggestions from evidence-based research, in partnership with SSSP members based in Philadelphia, to help address this issue. One thing we have been increasingly doing as a Division, is partnering with other Divisions at SSSP, and this effort has been yielding new collaborative efforts as you will notice in the many co-sponsored sessions we have slated for 2018. This is important as public health, social justice, and policy problems – and solutions – don’t operate in isolation; rather, interdisciplinary collaboration has the potential to yield the most effective and equitable social justice and public health solutions. I hope you have a chance to look over the newsletter and the panels planned for our 2018 meeting, and to submit your work. I want to emphasize the many excellent publications, books, and grant awards Drinking & Drugs members received this year, as noted in this newsletter. I also want to point out some of the post-doctoral and early career awards available. This year we will be awarding a Junior Scholar Award, as well as the Graduate Student Paper Award. Please check for details below. Please also be on the look-out for this year’s election for the new Division Chair. I also want to thank our newsletter editor for all the support and excellent work, Tasha Perdue – thank you, Tasha! Finally, in the tradition of SSSP’s Drinking & Drugs Division in partnership with ASA, I want to assure everyone that Philadelphia is a great city for, among other things, an excellent D&D reception that has become a legend of sorts in terms of the intellectual engagement, comradery, food and beverages! I wish you all the best for the holidays and a great New Year!

Johnson Student Paper Award Congratulations to Dean Ray, York University. His paper “Subject, Agent, Object, Other: Zoom, PnP and Crystal Methamphetamine” was the 2017 student paper division award winner! We had a successful meeting in Montreal busy with the division meeting spent planning for the next year, and a total of nine well-attended and engaging sessions. The division reception, held jointly at L’Assommoir with the Alcohol, Drugs & Tobacco Section of the ASA drew several members ready for some excellent food, drink, and conversation.

The compelling stories are set in historical context, from the cultural influence of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll to contemporary discourse that pegs drug addiction as a disease punishable by incarceration. With penetrating insight and conscientious attention to the intersectionality of race, gender, and class, Boeri reveals the impact of an increasingly punitive War on Drugs on a hurting generation. For more information: https://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520293472 Miriam is accepting speaking invitations to promote any of the issues discussed in the book including: Prison reform and/or abolition; Ending the war on drugs or any component of the war on drugs (solitary confinement; mandatory sentencing); Racial injustices of mass incarceration; Women’s issues surrounding drug use, drug policies, incarceration; Social Recovery as an alternative to incarceration and a complement to treatment; Issues surrounding the treatment industry.
