Interdisciplinary Trends in Psychedelic Conferences (2013) [Poster]

by Neşe Devenot and Michele Lantieri

Psychedelic conferences are a vital component in transforming public perceptions on psychedelics.... more Psychedelic conferences are a vital component in transforming public perceptions on psychedelics. This poster presents a quantitative and qualitative overview of recent psychedelic conferences, examining both their frequency and varying foci. Discussions on the roles of mind-altering substances in society and their potential influences on knowledge production, health, and creativity are entering the mainstream with increasing frequency, and there is every indication that this trend is still in its earliest phases. Since MAPS inaugurated its 2010 "Psychedelic Science" academic conference in San Jose, there has been a stream of psychedelic conferences taking place internationally with varying strengths and personalities. Within a three-week span between late September and early October 2012 alone, the psychedelic research community gathered at the Psychedemia conference at the University of Pennsylvania; the OPEN Foundation's International Conference on Psychedelic Research in Amsterdam; and the Horizons conference in New York City. Singularly among the factors contributing to this public renaissance is the success of the "new wave" of peer-reviewed scientific research. With mutually reinforcing results coming from institutions like Johns Hopkins, New York University, and the University of California-Los Angeles, the early successes of pilot studies are leading to larger trials and additional phases. This poster will demonstrate a trend towards interdisciplinary academic research and will categorize the broad array of disciplines involved in the contemporary psychedelic research renaissance.

Presented at Psychedelic Science in Oakland, CA, April 2013.
