cognitive enhancers, social policy, drugs policy
Ashley R. Bullard is a doctoral researcher at the University of Leeds in the department for the School of Sociology and Social Policy. His main interest is the role of rationality in the making of social policy generally, but drug policy specifically. This has resulted in a focus upon cognition enhancers as a unique case within drug policy that disrupts long-standing boundaries of drug categorisation, and opens up more explicit considerations of the role of the imagined ideal human/citizen in policy processes. Ashley has a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and Sociology Policy (First) and Masters in Social Research (Distinction), which he also obtained at the University of Leeds. He was involved in drug policy reform activism during his time as an undergraduate before turning towards academia to pursue his political interests.
