For several years, Lyuba Azbel has been researching the lived experience of drug use and the way that criminal subculture shapes decisions around treatment among prisoners in Kyrgyzstan. With the critical expertise of her co-author, Dr. Evan Winter Morse, her research has moved to how cultural factors and religious practices might help explain the self-governance behavior she has long observed in Kyrgyz prisons. This topic is not only fascinating, but revealing of post-soviet legal and institutional challenges that face many countries. Come hear about this exciting interdisciplinary research happening at the intersection of medical sociology and religious studies in the post-soviet space. Students, faculty, and community members are welcome.
Lyuba Azbel is a PhD candidate in Public Health and Policy at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
Evan Winter Morse, Ph.D. is a lecturer in Philosophy at Fordham University.
