FRIAS Research Project

Resonant Histories: Synchronization in Social Movements and Science

This project is a history of a 21st century ‘health social movement’ and interaction between the ‘neurobiological’ and the ‘social’ within its ranks. The FRIAS Research Focus on “Synchronization in Embodied Interaction” ties into my work on biosocial movements that aim to reduce harm caused by drug consumption and over-consumption (particularly of the opiates). While such social movements seek to protect the ‘biological individual,’ they also aim to create broad social change. This project will document and comparatively analyze harm reduction movements in Germany, England, Scotland, and the United States. Data collection methods include interviews and participant observation.
