Drug rehabilitation centers have proliferated to assist communities fighting addiction and associated problems. These centers are increasingly common in areas with mixed nationalities, offering an opportunity to understand how national status and the process of recovery work together to shape how individuals understand and relate to different notions of gender, and how gender and nationality feedback on the recovery process to affect its success and duration. The study draws from social scientific research addressing drug addiction, gender, and nationality to investigate whether, and in what ways, masculinity and recovery are intertwined among individuals with varying nationalities. In addition to training a graduate student in scientific cultural anthropology, this research disseminates its work broadly to academic and non-academic audiences and interested stakeholders. Over twelve months, the researchers conduct participant-observation, semi-structured interviews, and discourse analysis across a variety of rehabilitation centers, and among recovering drug users and their families. The researchers analyze how dominant masculine ideologies connect to various phases of recovery, and how expressions of masculinity change across different settings, from very private to very social, and among individuals of different nationalities. Doing so offers important nuance to theories of recovery that focus primarily on differences between men and women of the same nationality, and to changing conceptions of masculinity as behavior and beliefs change in association with recovery from drug use.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

戒毒康复中心数量激增，以帮助社区对抗毒瘾和相关问题。这些中心在多民族地区越来越普遍，提供了一个机会来了解民族地位和恢复过程如何共同作用，以塑造个人如何理解和联系不同的性别概念，以及性别和国籍对恢复过程的反馈如何影响到个人的健康状况。影响其成功和持续时间。该研究借鉴了有关吸毒成瘾、性别和国籍的社会科学研究，调查不同国籍的个体中男性气质和康复是否以及以何种方式交织在一起。除了培训科学文化人类学研究生外，这项研究还向学术和非学术受众以及感兴趣的利益相关者广泛传播其工作。在十二个月的时间里，研究人员在各个康复中心以及正在康复的吸毒者及其家人中进行了参与者观察、半结构化访谈和话语分析。研究人员分析了主导的男性意识形态如何与恢复的各个阶段联系起来，以及男性气质的表达如何在不同环境中（从非常私人到非常社会）以及不同国籍的个人之间发生变化。这样做为康复理论提供了重要的细微差别，这些理论主要关注同一国籍的男性和女性之间的差异，以及随着吸毒康复相关行为和信仰的变化而改变男性气质的概念。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并具有通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
