A Conversation with Lucas Richert and Carol Summerfield
Healing or hedonism? The perception and social acceptability of substance (ab)use has changed dramatically over time. Come be a part of this discussion, as Professor Lucas Richert of the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy and History Center Executive Director Carol Summerfield explore how science, culture, politics, and big personalities act as arbiters in the legitimacy and illegitimacy of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, medications, and addiction.

This program is presented in conjunction with Read Between the Ravines: American Overdose.
