Description
Summary:For my PhD thesis, I was interested in illegal drug consumers as political subjects within a social context, such as Argentina's, in which these practices are penalized. The background is a public debate brought about by high levels of illegal drug consumption and HIV/AIDS and increasing demands on the part of civil society for changes in legislation. I focused on learning about drug users' arguments on these proposals; drug users are key players who had not been clearly included in the local social studies.
