>Hello

>I write to you because I am currently looking for Ph.D programs in the
>United States or Canada, and my main interest is drug policy and the
>history of drug abuse. I am a Norwegian citizen, and have a BA in
>American Studies from the University of Oslo, and an additional year
>of undergraduate studies from the University of Texas. I am currently
>finishing an MA in American History at Leiden University in the
>Netherlands. I have also worked for some 8 months at a detox clinic in
>Oslo, Norway, so I have some personal experience when it comes to
>drug-addiction treatment, synthetic opiates and drugs in general.
>
>At the moment I am trying to find relevant programs in the United
>States or Canada (History or American Studies), and was advised to get
>in touch with you from Professor Rorabaugh at UW Seattle. I have been
>in touch with the University of Texas and Professor Mark C. Smith, and
>he seemed very positive about my research plans. I am also aware that
>Carnegie-Mellon and Yale have drug policy expertise. Can you give me
>some advice to other schools that might have relevant programs and
>faculty?
>
>In advance, thank you very much!
