James Lourie

James Lourie is a Master’s student in History at Concordia University. His research explores Québec counterculture, youth rebellion, and the transformation of addiction and public health discourse during the late 1960s and 1970s. He is particularly interested in how state institutions, media narratives, and community actors interpreted drug use and social deviance during this period. His work integrates archival research with emerging interests in oral history and digital storytelling as tools for documenting lived experience and memory.
