Jennifer J. Carroll, assistant professor of anthropology at Elon, is no stranger to the media.
Her research on medical and policy responses to substance use across the globe has been covered by The Providence Journal, Health Day, Reason magazine, and BuzzFeed News, among others.
In her latest media appearance, Carroll was interviewed by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) about her new book, Narkomania: Drugs, HIV, and Citizenship in Ukraine. Carroll sat down with NACCHO Government Affairs member Ian Goldstein to discuss the politics of drug policy, how anthropology can inform public health responses to substance use, and what the U.S. can learn about its own overdose crisis from studying public health efforts in Ukraine.
The interview recently aired on the Feb. 20 edition of NACCHO’s “Podcast from Washington.” The full episode can be downloaded on the NACCHO website or through any podcast subscription service.
