Expanding Mindscapes: Global Histories of Psychedelics

Dr. Erika Dyck
Memorial Library, Room 126; 728 State St, Madison, WI 53703; Enter on Langdon Street Side
@ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

As psychedelic substances enjoy a resurgence in clinical and popular discussions, we recognize their diverse histories and trajectories. In this presentation she will examine some of the different histories that have surfaced over time, drawing attention to some of the new voices emerging in this space. The psychedelic renaissance of the 21st century has been to date focused on reviving the clinical applications of psychedelics, while the religious and cultural uses remain on the margins. In Expanding Mindscapes our authors examine a more diverse set of origin stories, suggesting that the current trends and patterns might also benefit from a revisiting of these divergent pasts.
