Rethinking Alcohol and Drugs

Thank you for your interest in the Alcohol and Drugs History Society conference and thank you for your patience as we design a hybrid program for you.

We are pleased to present a very full program. We are featuring 4 keynote speakers, 28 sessions and a variety of social events. We have made efforts to accommodate virtual and live presentations, and hope that you will be able to join us either virtually or in person.

You can find the program and registration information on the ADHS website. Read the abstracts and learn more about the presentations here. 

Please be sure to register, even if you are planning to participate virtually. ADHS is proud to support students and under-employed scholars by waiving registration fees, but we ask that you please register so that we can accurately report numbers for our on-going pandemic planning.

Please also remember to purchase or renew your membership. Your membership includes a subscription to SHAD and eligibility for a growing list of prizes.

Below are a number of details to help you plan your participation:

or  

Use apps such as UBER or DIDI that are less expensive but sometimes require a longer wait. They generally charge approximately $15 to $25 USD, depending the time.     Important: Please don't take any unauthorized vehicles.
