Towards a Feminist Research Ethics of Care
Conducting feminist research during the global COVID-19 pandemic has evoked a renewed interest in the concept of care within our research team. The purpose of this paper is to provide concrete examples of how feminist ethics of care changed the initial and ongoing design of a community-engaged research project in Ontario, Canada. Drawing from examples and lessons learned, we focus on various adjustments to our methodological decision-making that …
Essentially invisible
This commentary examines the intrinsic social dilemmas that present themselves in the face of pandemics and pandemic planning that are often highlighted through differential patterns of risk across a population. Specifically, we focus on the invisibility of what has become an essential labour force in many healthcare systems around the globe – personal support workers (PSWs). This article is informed by earlier analyses regarding sociality and ri…
Preventing Tragedy in Canada? Risk and Responsibility in Government Discourses about Alcohol Consumption and Pregnancy
The feminist analysis presented in this article interrogates the fundamental assumptions that informed the first document produced by the Canadian government about alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Our analysis shows that constructions of risk and responsibility are rooted in neoliberal principles. We argue that such ideas can reinforce a problematic notion of individualization that is at the core of the neoliberal state—one that devalues a s…
A Tricky Object to Classify
The concept of evidence has become central in Western healthcare systems; however, few investigations have studied how the shift toward specific definitions of evidence actually occurred in practice. This paper examines a historical case in psychiatry where the debate about how to define evidence was of central importance to nosological decision making. During the fourth revision of the Diagnostic andStatistical Manual of Mental Disorders a contr…
If you have a soul, you will volunteer at once
Duty to care has been identified as a pressing ethical issue in contemporary discussions of pandemic preparedness; however, nuanced discussions of this complicated issue are relatively limited. This article presents historical data from the experience of the 1918 influenza pandemic in Brantford, Ontario in Canada, demonstrating that, in the face of an actual pandemic, the particular construction of duty to care as both moral and gendered meant th…
Iterative Generation of Diagnostic Categories Through Production and Practice
Finding the Necessary Distance
Over the past two decades, methodological approaches that operate at the intersection of theater and ethnography have gained both popularity and critical attention. However, given the newness of these endeavors, certain methodological and theoretical elements of such approaches remain unexplored. This is particularly the case in fields such as health research, where people often use theater as a tool of knowledge translation. This article aims to…
Roar Like a Tiger on TV
The genre of reality TV is a significant feature of popular culture and has grown to include shows that document diverse aspects of social life. The common element of these shows is that they use personal history as spectacle, basing themselves on the idea that the shows portray the real lives of ordinary people rather than scripted performances. This paper takes a closer look at one of these reality TV shows—A Baby Story—to examine how this "rec…
Precarious beginnings
The transition to motherhood in western society is particularly informed by risk-based scientific and medical discourses and, as a result, women are especially subject to rationalities and practices that are employed in the name of risk. The aim of this article is to examine the gendered risk discourses that are embedded in one aspect of medicalized mothering - the postpartum period. This article interrogates three key elements of the discursive …
Dining in
Just as food plays an important symbolic role in greater society, eating inside a prison is imbued with a great amount of power and significance. Consumption is a constantly recurring aspect of institutional life and, therefore, by examining this ubiquitous act, a researcher can access a subtle, nuanced account of how power operates within the prison apparatus. By drawing on examples from interviews with prisoners about the prison food experience…
