This conference, "Intoxicated Warfare: Psychoactive Substances, Violence and Trauma," will take place in the DeVos Center/Pew Campus (Loosemore Auditorium) on Sept 27-28. The conference will bring an international (from Europe, Africa and the US) group of interdisciplinary scholars (in history, psychology, medicine, literature and other fields) together for a series of panels and keynotes that are open to the GVSU community and public. We will focus on the role of drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism and catalyst for violence (including war) in a variety of settings. For more details on the conference, here's the website, which includes the program (and details about keynotes, panels):
