Neşe Devenot, PhD (they/them) is a Senior Lecturer in the University Writing Program at Johns Hopkins University, where they conduct interdisciplinary research across the fields of medical humanities, psychedelic studies, bioethics, harm reduction, poetics, and comparative literature. They are a board member at Psymposia, a psychedelic harm reduction nonprofit, and an affiliated researcher with the Project on Psychedelics Law and Regulation (POPLAR) at the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School. A psychedelic humanities researcher since 2010, Devenot helped establish Psychedelic Studies as an interdisciplinary field by articulating the necessity of humanities frameworks for understanding psychedelic experiences. Since then, they have developed critiques of pseudoscientific justifications for therapeutic touch in psychedelic-assisted therapy and of corporate capture in the psychedelic industry. Their ongoing book project, Chemical Poetics: The Literary History of Psychedelic Science, examines the function of narrative and literary devices in structuring psychedelic experiences.
