Regulation of Madness in Early Childhood Education
This qualitative study investigates how sanist systems of oppression within early childhood education both reflect and reinforce dominant discourses on mental health and madness. Through a Mad studies analysis of both qualitative interview data with postsecondary early childhood education and child studies students, as well as policy and curriculum documents relevant to Ontario postsecondary early childhood education studies, we seek to disrupt t…
A community informed, integrated approach to crisis care response
Background: Responses to mental health crises have recently gained significant attention, recognizing that these interactions may have substantial, potentially life and death consequences for those already in distress. Standard responses to mental health emergencies may involve 9-- dispatchers, paramedic services, police services, hospital emergency department (ED) services and a range of other community services.

Examining an Alternate Care Pathway for Mental Health and Addiction Prehospital Emergencies in Ontario, Canada

As such, we p…

The Kingdom of the Ryans
That Spells Trouble
After the National Party came to power in 1948, the South African government was at great pains to portray the white opposition as Communist-controlled, atheist and un-South African. The existence of a number of high-profile Jews within the opposition meant that the government could fall back on a range of antisemitic stereotypes in attempting to explain the phenomenon of white dissent. During this period- with some notable exceptions- official r…
