Co-design of the Australian Prompt Response Network for a public-health focused intersectoral approach to information sharing on emerging drugs of concern
The rapid emergence of new psychoactive substances (NPS) and other emerging drugs of concern presents a significant global public health challenge, necessitating agile and interconnected drug information systems to identify and communicate risks. In Australia, responses have traditionally been localized, lacking a nationally coordinated system to rapidly share information about emerging drug threats. The National Center for Clinical Research on E…
Neural imaginaries at work: Exploring Australian addiction treatment providers' selective representations of the brain in clinical practice
Although addiction neuroscience hopes to uncover the neural basis of addiction and deliver a wide range of novel neuro-interventions to improve the treatment of addiction, the translation of addiction neuroscience to practice has been widely viewed as a 'bench to bedside' failure. Importantly, though, this linear 'bench to bedside' conceptualisation of knowledge translation has not been attentive to the role addiction treatment providers play in …
Holding on’ and ‘letting go’: A thematic analysis of Australian parent’s styles of coping with their adult child’s methamphetamine use
Background: Although it is well established that parents can be negatively impacted by their child’s methamphetamine use, there is little research on how parents cope. This study aimed to explore the coping styles of Australian parents contacting an online counselling service concerned about their adult child’s methamphetamine use.Method: A thematic analysis of online counselling transcripts was used to examine key coping styles employed by paren…
Going Online: The Affordances of Online Counseling for Families Affected by Alcohol and Other Drug Issues
Online counseling can overcome barriers families face when accessing support services for issues such as a relative's alcohol or other drug use. However, little research has explored how online counseling platforms assist family members to improve their well-being and support their relative. We thematically analyzed 90 transcripts of online counseling sessions with family and friends of people who use alcohol, opioids, and amphetamines in Austral…
Making multiple ‘online counsellings’ through policy and practice: An evidence-making intervention approach
When the Brain Leaves the Scanner and Enters the Clinic: The Role of Neuroscientific Discourses in Producing the Problem of “Addiction”
Addiction neuroscience promises to uncover the neural basis of addiction by mapping changes in the “diseased brains” of people with “drug addictions.” It hopes to offer revolutionary treatments for addiction and reduce the stigma experienced by those seeking treatment for a medical, rather than moral, condition. While the promises of addiction neuroscience have received considerable attention, relatively few studies have examined how neuroscienti…
Challenging the addiction/health binary with assemblage thinking: An analysis of consumer accounts
Iterating ‘addiction’: Residential relocation and the spatio-temporal production of alcohol and other drug consumption patterns
Addiction stigma and the biopolitics of liberal modernity: A qualitative analysis
Telling different stories, making new realities: The ontological politics of ‘addiction’ biographies
Tendencies and trajectories: The production of subjectivity in an event of drug consumption
Posthumanist ontologies have been employed in theoretical and empirical research in human geography to explore the production of subjectivity in processes, events and relations. Similar approaches have been adopted in critical drug research to emphasise the production of subjectivity in events of drug consumption. Within each body of work questions remain regarding the durations and becomings of subjectivity. Responding to these questions, we int…
Diffracting addicting binaries: An analysis of personal accounts of alcohol and other drug 'addiction
Associated with social and individual harm, loss of control and destructive behaviour, addiction is widely considered to be a major social problem. Most models of addiction, including the influential disease model, rely on the volition/compulsion binary, conceptualising addiction as a disorder of compulsion. In order to interrogate this prevailing view, this article draws on qualitative data from interviews with people who describe themselves as …
Drugs at the campsite: Socio-spatial relations and drug use at music festivals
Tracing the “Event” of Drug Use: “Context” and the Coproduction of a Night Out on MDMA
In this article I propose that current research addressing the mediating role of “context” in youth illicit drug use can be complemented by examining drug use “events.” Events analyses capture the temporality, dynamism, and multiplicity often lacking in research into contexts of use. Drawing on Actor Network Theory, I conceptualize the drug-use event as a process of successive mediations, whereby shifting relations bring about transformations and…
