Anne Schanche Selbekk and Maria Kjos Fonn.

Drug addiction is a central theme in Maria Kjos Fonn's award-winning writing. She has also been open about her personal experiences with drugs.

The main character in "kinderwhore" grows up with little care and resources on the east side of Oslo. In her teens, sex, drugs, and rock n roll become her path.

In the novel “Heroin Chic” (2020) we meet Elise from Oslo's best west side. She has everything but still ends up as a drug addict.

Is it possible to understand the driving forces that exist in drugs?

Meet Maria Kjos Fonn in conversation with researcher Anne Schanche Selbekk, who is an associate professor in substance abuse and mental health at the Faculty of Health Sciences at UiS.

The event is a collaboration between Forskingsdagane, Stavanger University Library, and Kapittel.

It is open and free to all.
