Fall Book Club

In anticipation of Elizabeth Roberts's Ethics Center lecture on October 8, we will be reading In Praise of Addiction (Princeton University Press, 2026).

In this pathbreaking book, which blends memoir, fieldwork, and addiction research, Roberts sets out a transformative understanding of addiction that distinguishes between vice that isolates and addiction that connects.

Elizabeth F. S. Roberts is professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan and the author of God’s Laboratory: Assisted Reproduction in the Andes. Since 2013, she has participated in collaborative environmental health research in Mexico City.

Ethics Center book clubs are open to the public.
