Community Consequences of the Opioid Epidemic

Join the American Academy of Political and Social Science (AAPSS) for a virtual discussion.

New York Times reporter Jason DeParle will moderate the discussion and the panel includes:

Lindsey Bullinger, Georgia Tech

Jessica Drescher, Stanford University

Colleen Heflin, Syracuse University

Shannon Monnat, Syracuse University

Jessica Pac, University of Wisconsin-Madison

These panelists contributed to the most recent volume of the AAPSS journal, The ANNALS. Their discussion will focus on their work in the volume, which uses data from local, state and federal sources to investigate how opioid use disorder impacts the effectiveness of our education system, strains social services including child welfare agencies, and creates fiscal burdens across social welfare infrastructure. The event will also feature audience Q&A. 

I hope you’re able to join. Can’t join us live? Be sure to register and you’ll receive the recording.
