Jakub Czerw

jakub.czerw@doctoral.uj.edu.pl

My research interests are related to critical psychoactive substance research and French social theory, with a particular focus on actor-network theory. My research focuses on the history of Polish substitution programmes - a form of pharmacological treatment for people suffering from opioid use disorders. My research aims to deepen the relatively limited knowledge of substitution treatment, but also to develop a relatively new methodology, ANT-history.

At the heart of my research is a "set of techniques that allow the exploration and visualisation of problems [issues]" (Venturini 2009) on the issues under investigation, referred to as 'controversy mapping'. Controversy mapping itself has its origins in the teachings of one of the founding fathers (alongside John Law, Michel Callon and founding mother Annamarie Mol) of network actor theory: Bruno Latour. It is considered to be a more practical, didactic version of this theory. Convinced that research in this area is insufficient, I also carry out activities and projects of a supportive nature. One such project - of which I am particularly proud - is my work on the implementation of a national take-home naloxone programme in cooperation with Monar Krakow, the National Centre for Drug Prevention and the Precursor Foundation. I am also a trainee psychotherapist.

Oliwia is a student at the Doctoral School of Social Sciences at the Jagiellonian University and a scholarship holder in the LIGHT project - Diagnosis and Development of Health Capital - Health Competences of Primary School Students, funded by the National Science Centre.

Oliva uses the concept of socio-technical imaginaries in her doctoral research on the development of biotechnology. The aim of the research is to understand how social imaginaries - regarding the future possibilities of biotechnology in relation to the regulation of the human ageing process - influence the direction of research and new technologies. A comparative analysis of the contexts of the United States and the People's Republic of China will capture influential perceptions shared by representatives of countries at the forefront of stem cell research, as well as providing an understanding of important cross-cultural differences. The project will develop the concept of reflective public reason (T. Rudek) by placing it in the context of bioconstitutionalism (S. Jasanoff), i.e. shaping the definition of biological life in the transformative dialogue between science and law.
