Join Dr. Hannah Cooper, Rollins Chair of Substance Use Disorders, professor in the Department of Behavioral, Social, and Health Education Sciences at the Rollins School of Public Health, and director of Spark for her talk, “White Supremacy, the War on Drugs, and the Health of Rural Appalachians Who Use Drugs”. 

Established and perpetuated to bolster White supremacy in predominately Black urban areas, the War on Drugs has followed drug-related epidemics into predominately White rural Appalachia. This presentation will be dedicated to sharing methods and results of an analysis of War on Drugs strategies on the health of people who use drugs in several Appalachian states and interpreting findings within the broader context of White supremacy’s engagement with impoverished white people.

Lunch and parking will be provided. Please see the receptionist upon arrival and she will provide you with a parking permit to place on your dashboard.
