I saw this call a bit late, deadline is 28 feb, but abstract length in only 100 words. Maybe cosmikiva experience can bring something to this project ? Just in case....

This is to announce a call for papers from all interested practitioners, researchers, and academics, to an edited book on "Harm Reduction".

Please submit a 100 word abstract including title, name, affiliation, contact information, to either of the co-editors: Brian MacLean, Ph.D., Sociologist, York University, at bdspm@telus.net or Kim A. Dawson, Ph.D., Psychologist, Private Practice, at kadawson@shaw.ca.

Abstracts are due by February 28, 2007 and invited papers will be due by June 30, 2007. This will hopefully result in publication before the end of the year.

At this point our objectives are to:

1. Bring together essays from a variety of stakeholders in harm reduction and drug policy generally;

2. Appeal to a broader audience than a strictly academic one;

3. Take a progressive stance overall;

4. Be as thorough and diverse as possible in our coverage of the subject matter;

5. Commit ourselves to a more practical than academic outcome.
