Narcomedia presents
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA LAW SCHOOL
JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE
a series of talks by drug reporter Christopher Moraff on his five years on the front LINES
FOR JOURNALISTS, PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS, CLINICIANS & PROFESSIONALS, LAW SCHOOLS. LAW ENFORCEMENT, HARM REDUCTION & MORE
CHRIS' WORK IS INFORMED BY A METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH THAT IS CLOSER TO ETHNOGRAPHY THAN JOURNALISM; THIS DEPTH & IMMERSION ENABLES HIM TO PUSH BEYOND TRITE AND RECYCLED TROPES AND CHALLENGE HARMFUL STEREOTYPES ABOUT THE LIVES AND EXPERIENCE OF PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS.
ANNE MONTGOMERY, HAVERFORD COLLEGE
CHRIS IS ABLE TO SYNTHESIZE MANY LEVELS OF UNDERSTANDING INTO A COHERENT NARRATIVE THAT WILL GIVE BOTH THE GREENHORN AND THE VETERAN SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. WE WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND CHRIS TO ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT THE ROOT CAuSES OF THE OVERDOSE CRISIS.
