Psychedemia Conference 2022
In partnership with the newly founded Center for Psychedelic Drug Research and Education at The Ohio State University, Psychedemia 2022 will provide a rigorous interdisciplinary symposium for exchanging ideas, evaluating dominant perspectives, and critiquing current approaches to developing social frameworks for psychedelic use.
Ten years ago, Psychedemia made history as the first psychedelics conference to be sponsored and funded by an academic institution since the resurgence of psychedelic research.
Guest Speakers includes Alicia Danforth, a clinical psychologist and psychedelics researcher, Dr. James Davies has a PhD from the University of Oxford in social and medical anthropology. William Leonard Pickard is a senior advisor to the biotechnology venture firm JLS Fund and to the Fireside Project, and Yarelix Estrada, a first-generation Central American, drug policy and harm reduction researcher, advocate, and community outreach worker.
Amidst an unfolding psychedelic renaissance, it is time to discuss new approaches for integrating psychedelics into both academia and society. This conference will review the recent history of psychedelic research and culture; assess where we currently stand; and chart pathways for the future of the field. A richly varied program will include Lectures, Symposia, Spotlight Sessions, and a pre-conference Workshop to connect and evolve clinical practice.
