• SSHRC Awarded IG 2013: This research will contribute to theories of institutional change by identifying the processes by which institutionalized arrangements embracing multiple logics are reconstructed. The empirical context is the public provision of addition services in Alberta, a mature context that involves well-established professions, practices and meaning systems ('logics'). Consequently, in addition to advancing theory, the project should inform public policy regarding more effective arrangements of providing addictions services. Ultimately, findings from this study should help to address the deep-rooted social problems associated with addictions.
