Stepping into Who I Fully Am
Research suggests that perimenopause can compound existing struggles for some Autistic people, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Barriers to self-expression due to communication differences are also well-documented. Acknowledging this, our neurodiverse research team invited creative submissions themed around Autistic experiences of menopause, receiving works from six Autistic participants including paintings, poetry, and graphic works. …
Good Karen, Bad Karen
This article explores pre-Covid-19 vaccine sentiment through pro-vaccine (pro-vaxx) internet memes with a focus on anti-vaxx mom and Karen figures. We argue that pro-vaxxers on the popular social news aggregate site Reddit employed Karen and other variations on the anti-vaxx mom as a subversion of the mother warrior figure originally meant to be empowering for vaccine sceptics. While anti-vaxx mom and Karen memes were humorous and participatory, …
Onstage and Behind the Scenes
For many autistic performers in arts and entertainment, the stage can be an important site of self-advocacy and creative expression. Whereas everyday social interactions may be unpredictable, being onstage can allow autistic performers to work from a script and anticipate audience responses. This article explores the affordances and challenges of performance for young autistic adults in Canada through interviews with four autistic performers (two…

Your Typical Atypical Family
Using Critical Disability Studies and Critical Autism Studies lenses, this article examines the first season of the Netflix series Atypical, a comedy/drama coming of age story centred on an autistic teenager and his family. Atypical promotes heightened visibility for autistic people in popular culture. However, in its first season, its construction of autism reveals a broader cultural valuation of particular forms of disability that can be manage…
I think the men are behind it”
Horror stories often express social anxieties and new possibilities in times of dramatic transition. Iconic films like Rosemary’s Baby and The Stepford Wives, which emerged during earlier and later periods of second wave feminism, were no exception. Existing literature tends to apply psychoanalytic frameworks to horror texts, but the lens of reproductive labour is a surprisingly underdeveloped analytic. As I argue, reproductive labour is key to u…

Branding History at the Canadian Museum of Civilization
In October 2012, the Canadian Heritage Minister announced that the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the country's largest and most popular museum, would be renamed the Canadian Museum of History. In addition to the new name, three strategies-a strategy of engagement, a strategy of authority, and a strategy of expansion-were elaborated by museum and government officials as part of the transformation. We examine these three strategies as an example…
The flexible heterotopia
This article examines the Canadian Museum of Civilization's First Peoples Hall and its treatment of Canada's Indian Residential Schools legacy. Using Michel Foucault's concept of heterotopia, it describes the capacity of the national Aboriginal exhibition to both mirror and distort reality as a means of denaturalizing everyday practices and mainstream treatments of history. It argues that although physical museum exhibits have long worked to lock…
Media Practices and Painful Pasts
From the 1870s through the 1990s, more than 150,000 First Nations, Inuit and Métis children were enrolled in government-funded, church-run Indian Residential Schools (IRS) in Canada. The schools reflected policies aimed at assimilating Aboriginal peoples into majority culture. Many Aboriginal children were forcibly removed from their homes and suffered physical, sexual and psychological abuses. As part of its Mandate, Canada's Truth and Reconcili…
Canadian (Re)Presentation
This chapter explores relationships between media and Indigenous identity construction in the Canadian Museum of Civilization's (CMC) First Peoples Hall (FPH) through an analysis of place‐based media and archival research. It explores the specific historical, economic, and pedagogic contexts influencing media adoption in the CMC and FPH, and argues that while the museum attempts to forward a progressive curatorial agenda through Indigenous collab…
Mediating Indigenous Voice in the Museum
As popular Indigenous museums have proliferated globally, the question of “voice” has become as important as the question of “truth.” This article explores the discourse of Indigenous voice and describes its intersections with media and the representation of Indigenous place in new exhibition practice. It suggests that while the discourse of Indigenous voice appears in many new exhibits, it varies in each particular site, leading to different pos…
Subjectivity Through Self-Education
This article looks at the use of digital kiosks and multimedia and multisensory presentation within the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) in Washington, D.C., to denaturalize assumptions about visitor and audience subject formation. Museums like the NMAI include numerous media technologies including multimedia presentations and digital kiosks as they vie for the attention of museum visitors. Proponents of dig…
Governmentality and the National Museum of the American Indian
This article provides critical analysis of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) in Washington DC and suggests Michel Foucault's governmentality is a useful analytic of power for understanding such complex, cultural institutions. Looking at the museum's political/economic situatedness and the idea that museum reform indicates empowerment, I propose we step away from overly reductive readings of such instituti…
