This course will provide an overview of substance use, addiction, and treatment (alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, stimulants, psychedelics, depressants, opiates) through the lenses of public health, medicine, anthropology, history, public policy, media, and the arts. In this course we will apply a critical perspective to examine topics including: social and structural risk factors for substance use disorders; treatment modalities, settings, and outcomes; the racial politics of drug panics and policing of populations; cross-country comparisons of substance use and treatment policies; and other historical and contemporary issues.
