A new book co-authored by Merrill Singer, CHIP principal investigator and professor of anthropology, reveals for the first time the history and challenges of ethnographic research on drug use.
Singer, a medical anthropologist, and his co-author, J. Bryan Page, a faculty member at the University of Miami, felt there was a need to document the history of drug use research in their field, both for their peers and to train new researchers.
The result was Comprehending Drug Use: Ethnographic Research at the Social Margins (Rutgers University Press).
