Changing College Drinking Culture with Dr. Victoria Burns

Changing College Drinking Culture with Dr. Victoria Burns

How can we make it easier for students and staff on college campuses to recover and rethink drinking and substance use? On the show Dr. Victoria Burns, PhD discusses how we can change campus drinking culture and make a safer place for everyone to recover out loud. Dr. Burns is an associate professor at the University of Calgary, and founder and director of the UCalgary Recovery Community and Recovery on Campus Alberta. As a registered social worker, educator, researcher, and engaged activist she has worked in the homelessness and addiction-recovery sphere for over 15 years. She combines her lived experience of addiction, recovery, and disability with a passion for storytelling and the arts, to raise awareness and combat stigma for marginalized populations in scholarly and mainstream spaces alike.

We talk about:

  • Dr. Burns experience with drinking
  • Coming out as the “Sober Professor”
  • Why and how it took years to share with her colleagues
  • What a collegiate recovery program is
  • Overcoming the fear of disclosing a problem in the workplace
  • Changing college drinking culture
  • The double standard of drinking
  • And more!
