Program Psychedelic Science: Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives
Santa Barbara A/B, Lobby Level
What is the current status of psychedelic research in the context of the humanities and the social sciences, and what are the potentials for future research and interdisciplinary collaboration? Does the rejuvenated excitement and emphasis on “hard science” obscure any of the socio-cultural issues at stake? What are the drawbacks and advantages of the medical model? Which forms of psychedelic discourse are sanctioned by the university and which are not?
