2024 Conference Anthology
Psychedelic Intersections: 2024 Conference Anthology
Psychedelic Intersections: 2024 Conference Anthology presents interdisciplinary research from scholars and practitioners working at the crossroads of psychedelics, religion, medicine, race, Indigeneity, law, and the underground, history, anthropology, and beyond. Edited by Jeffrey Breau and Paul Gillis-Smith, the Anthology expands on research presented at the 2024 “Psychedelic Intersections: Cross-cultural Manifestations of the Sacred” conference. Both the Anthology and the Psychedelic Intersections conference are part of the Center's larger Psychedelics and Spirituality initiative.
The Anthology features an interview with keynote speaker Luis Eduardo Luna and 19 original research essays organized into five research tracks (Ancient Traditions, Indigenous Traditions, Medicine, Race, and the Underground). It opens with a foreword by the Center's Faculty Director Charles Stang and an introduction by Jeffrey Breau and Paul Gillis-Smith, the Center's Program Leads for Psychedelics and Spirituality.
