On 26th November GDPO held the first meeting of the newly established post graduate network. The network aims to bring together post graduate students and early years researchers in order to share ideas, discuss articles and provide support to any PG students working on drug policy or related issues. The group will have a virtual presence on our website as well as meeting face-to-face when possible.
The first formal meeting was held in Bristol and attended by the following people:
IJ Benneyworth, PhD candidate at Cardiff University
John Collins, PhD candidate at the London School of Economics (LSE) and coordinator for the LSE IDEAS International Drug Policy Project
Emily Crick, PhD candidate Swansea University and GDPO research assistant
Karina Garcia, PhD candidate at the University of Bristol
Lisa Sanchez, is currently pursuing an MSc in Public Management and Governance at LSE. She is also Latin American Programme Manager for Transform Drug Policy Foundation and México Unido contra la Delincuencia (MUCD) and is collaborating with LSE IDEAS as Project Associate
Other members who were unable to attend yesterday but will hopefully join us in either a physical or virtual presence in the future are:
