Sibling Relationships and Developmental Disability Services
This article critically assesses the systems that structure unpaid care work for people with intellectual disabilities, with a focus on the role of siblings. We provide a preliminary analysis of this current trend in unpaid care work in the province of Ontario, Canada, addressing practices that are a) built upon a devaluation of people with intellectual disabilities, and that b) deny them choice in who provides them care. We combine existing evid…
Neoliberal methods of disqualification
Funding for post-secondary students with disabilities in Canada is an under-studied yet pressing policy issue that affects up to 15% of students currently enrolled in post-secondary institutions across the country reflecting, at the same time, trends in educational accommodations occurring on a global scale.

Who counts and who is counted? Conversations around voting, access, and divisions in the disability community

Reading the experiences of disabled student voters on university campuses alongside broader trends in electoral reform taking place in jurisdictions across Canada allows us to attend to the dangerous ways in which conversations around access have been limited through virtual solution…
Defining Dependency, Constructing Curability
This paper contributes to Canadian eugenics studies through an exploration of medical deportations from the Toronto Asylum between 1920 and 1925. Through a close reading of the case files of foreign-born inmates, this study frames practices of labour, deportation, and psychiatric decision-making as social regulation and ties them to issues of citizenship, disability, and dependency. Above all, this study seeks to demonstrate how disability operat…
