SUMMARY:Hybrida drogmarknader: varför integrerade metodologiska angreppss
 ätt behövs
DESCRIPTION:Kontakt: david.wasterfors@soc.lu.se\n\nDet krävs ingen anmäla
 n till detta seminarium. Seminariet hålls på engelska.Hybrid drug market
 s are best understood as socio-technical assemblages operating along a dig
 ital-physical continuum\, where online platforms\, face-to-face interactio
 ns\, and social relations are mutually constitutive. Challenging online/of
 fline dualisms\, research shows that illicit exchanges remain embedded in 
 social networks\, trust relations\, and cultural practices\, aligning with
  economic sociology’s emphasis on markets as relational and socially emb
 edded.&nbsp\;This talk illustrates these developments through two ongoing 
 research projects. The first analyses darknet markets as adaptive infrastr
 uctures for the distribution of highly potent synthetic opioids across Eur
 ope\, drawing on longitudinal digital trace data to examine supply dynamic
 s and public health risks. The second employs qualitative interviews to in
 vestigate gendered drug acquisition practices in Vienna\, highlighting how
  hybrid environments reproduce inequalities in access\, risk\, and harm re
 duction.BiographyMeropi Tzanetakis is a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher at 
 the Institute for Sociology and Social Research at WU Vienna University of
  Economics and Business. She is PI of the Austrian Science Fund project 
 ‘A Socio-Technical Framework for Online Drug Markets’. Meropi’s rese
 arch explores how illegal markets are embedded within society and the broa
 der economy. Her work forms part of a wider research agenda examining the 
 transformation of markets through processes of digitalisation. Specificall
 y\, she investigates the socio-technical embeddedness of illicit markets a
 cross global\, national\, and local contexts\, with a focus on how platfor
 m business models and emerging technologies such as AI reshape social prac
 tices\, trust relations\, and governance.OrganiserDavid Wästerfors\, Prof
