ANTHRO 154:
Anthropology of Drugs: Experience, Capitalism, Modernity (ANTHRO 254B, CSRE 154)

It engages these themes through cultural representations of drugs and drug use, analyses of scientific discourse, and social theory. Topics include: the social construction of the licit and illicit; the shifting boundaries of deviance, disease and pleasure; and the relationship between local markets and global wars.
