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.

药物康复中心已经激增，以协助社区与成瘾和相关问题作斗争。这些中心越来越普遍在混合国籍的地区，提供了一个机会，可以理解民族地位和恢复过程如何共同塑造个人如何理解并与不同的性别概念相关，以及性别和国籍如何反馈对恢复过程的反馈，以影响其成功和持续时间。这项研究借鉴了针对药物成瘾，性别和国籍的社会科学研究，以调查在不同国籍的人之间是否与哪种方式交织了男性气质和恢复。除了培训科学文化人类学的研究生外，这项研究还将其工作广泛地传播给了学术和非学术受众以及感兴趣的利益相关者。在十二个月的时间里，研究人员进行了参与者观察，半结构化访谈和各种康复中心的话语分析，以及在恢复吸毒者及其家人中。研究人员分析了占主导地位的男性意识形态如何与恢复的各个阶段联系在一起，以及在不同环境中的男性气质的表达方式如何变化，从非常私人到非常社会，以及不同国籍的个人。这样做为恢复理论提供了重要的细微差别，该理论主要集中在同一国籍的男人和女性之间的差异，以及随着行为和信念与毒品使用的恢复相关的变化而改变男性气质的概念。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过该基金会的知识分子功能和广泛的影响来评估CRITERIA的智力优点和宽广的支持。
