About
I've been a professor in the Department of Anthropology at John Jay College for more than 20 years and have taught classes in drug use and abuse for most of that time. As an ethnographer with Narcotic and Drug Research, Inc. (NDRI) in the 1980s and 1990s, I conducted research on drug users, dealers and markets for a variety of research projects. At John Jay, our long-term project called "Drugs in My Neighborhood" has produced an enormous data set about that tracks the transformation of NYC area neighborhoods with regard to drugs and crime. The Fanteca Project is yet another opportunity for students to learn about the impact that drugs have on their neighbors and their neighborhoods.
