What's in a Name? Psychiatric Concept Creep and the Moral Legibility of Student Suffering within the Canadian University Context
This article explores how students experiencing mental unwellness negotiate psychiatric constructs of mental health to make their suffering morally legible within the North American University context. I argue while the psychiatric construct remains pervasive, students are ambivalent toward it as a metaphor for their distress. Students engage in bottom‐up psychiatrization pragmatically to navigate relational contexts when appropriate for them, wh…
"Confronting Archaeology's "Gray Zones
Drinking culture. What happens in the field. It was just a joke. Don't rock the boat. Archaeology staggers under the weight of its many "gray zones," contexts of disciplinary culture where boundaries, relationships, ethical responsibilities, and expectations of behavior are rendered "blurry." Gray zones rely on an ethos of silence and tacit cooperation rooted in structures of white supremacy, colonialism, heteropatriarchy, and ableism. In the gra…
A continuum of "normal" experience: Positioning mental health struggles as human experiences in the university context
This article explores how university students with mental health struggles engage in "illness-identity" work, the process by which an individual resituates their self in relation to their illness, using a phenomenological approach. Grounded in 24 semi-structured interviews with Canadian university students between the ages of 18 and 24 years who self-identify as experiencing mental health struggles, I argue that students do not perform illness-id…

The data I analyze comes from semi-structured interviews with 24 university students between 18 and 24 years of age who self-identify as experiencing mental health struggles, a…
