Abstract:
Dr. Sue is the Medical Director of the Harm Reduction Coalition, a national advocacy and capacity-building organization that promotes the health and dignity of individuals and communities impacted by drug use and the racialized War on Drugs. She is a graduate of the Harvard Medical School Social Science MD-PhD Track. Her PhD work was completed in sociocultural (medical) anthropology where she studied the intersection of US prison systems, addiction policy, mental health and drug treatment. This research is the basis for her new book, Getting Wrecked: Women, Incarceration and the American Opioid Crisis, published by University of California Press in September 2019.
