We investigate how our guests change pathos in their work.
Frances Fu’s journey into drug policy reform started as a freshman at Northwestern University, where she co-founded the university’s chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP). In this episode of 'Challenging Pathos', Frances opens up about her passion for harm reduction and the unjust nature of the War on Drugs. Her involvement with SSDP has been a driving force in her life, inspiring her to educate others about the intersection of drug policies and social justice.
Frances shares how attending her first Midwest Regional Conference at Roosevelt University was a turning point, solidifying her commitment to this cause. She discusses her roles on SSDP’s Board of Directors and her work with cannabis law and industry organizations. Frances highlights the importance of peer education in promoting honest conversations around drug use and policy, aiming to reduce harm through compassion rather than punishment.
She emphasizes the need for factual information about drugs and the power of storytelling in changing public perception. Frances’ dedication is evident as she talks about her involvement in various campus activities, including Sexual Health and Assault Peer Educators (SHAPE) and the Panhellenic Association. Her story is a testament to how young people can drive systemic change through activism and education.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in drug policy reform, harm reduction, and the impact of peer influence in shaping beliefs.
