Simon Fraser University
professor Bruce Alexander has been honoured for his controversial career.

The psychology prof and a pioneer in human addiction research has won the 2007 Nora and Ted Sterling Prize.

In his 30-year career at SFU, Alexander’s research on drugs and addiction, and the myths of drug-induced addiction, has been more often than not met by loud headlines and irate letters to the editor.

Alexander led an SFU team for a World Health Organization study looking into

Vancouver‘s drug users and government response.

He is also author of Peaceful Measures:

Canada‘s Way Out of the War on Drugs.
