Donation Care Work: Family Members' Contributions to Deceased Organ Donation Following Determination of Death Using Circulatory Criteria
Family members of potential deceased organ donors are often portrayed as gatekeepers to the individual experience of organ donation. We argue the success of deceased donation as an institution depends on often‐unrecognised family labour that occurs after consent. Building on feminist notions of care work, we propose the concept of ‘donation care work’ to conceptualise the combination of emotion work, end‐of‐life care, and death work that family m…
Rethinking human–technology relations: Exploring the sociopolitical dimensions of invasive brain stimulation
Approaching the meeting of human and technology as a relation involves recognition of the plethora of already existing connections and associations between humans and non-human artifacts, as well as how connections grow and change over time. When connection between human and technology is a relation, it has no clear beginning or end point, no before or after. Instead, there are variations and modifications in the strength and quality of the relat…
Interdisciplinary co-teaching as a sustainable model for health humanities pedagogy
Academics and students from marginalised identities encounter challenges and barriers at all levels of participation in the settler colonial university, in both practices of teaching and learning. While this observation holds true for courses in the health humanities, their unique interdisciplinary position and context creates space for challenging dominant norms in society and in academia. In this paper, we describe our experiences as two black …
Challenging the logic of lifesaving in the intensive care unit
Family experiences with non-therapeutic research on dying patients in the intensive care unit
Experiences of substitute decision-makers with requests for consent to non-therapeutic research participation during the dying process, including to what degree such requests are perceived as burdensome, have not been well described. In this study, we explored the lived experiences of family members who consented to non-therapeutic research participation on behalf of an imminently dying patient. We interviewed 33 family members involved in surrog…
Autoresuscitation and clinical authority in death determination using circulatory criteria
Reimagining Death: A Posthuman Analysis of Life Support and the Concept of Death in the Intensive Care Unit
Often assumed to be simply the opposite or absence of life, death is in truth a distinctively uncertain category which troubles assumptions about what it means to be alive, and what it means to be human. In this project, I explore what happens to understandings of bodily endings when the "normal human" is de-centered from the concept of death. I take a post-Enlightenment, post-humanist approach in the mode espoused by Rosi Braidotti (2006, 2019) …
