Let's make it happen! The co-editor of @PointsHistory Clayton Wells is a sociologist-- we'd love to feature more soc content on the site. If you have an idea for a post or collab please email claire.clark@uky.edu or claytonwells@uky.edu
Also, it is clear that we need to develop some collaborations between @ASADrugSoc and @drughistory--so many possibilities for intersecting, interdisciplinary studies!
