A highly charged field
Heroin and the illegal drug overdose death epidemic
Problematizing the DSM-5 criteria for opioid use disorder
Reductions in alcohol use following medical cannabis initiation
Penalizing women’s fear
This paper explores Canadian family law cases involving claims of parental alienation and of family violence from 2014–2018, reporting the data on these claims, their resolution, and their impacts upon custody and access. A close reading of those cases where both alienation and intimate partner violence claims are made reveals troubling patterns in how intimate partner violence is discounted in this context. We suggest that the rise of shared par…

Addiction and Heroin-Assisted Treatment
This article analyzes the arguments put forth over a 3-day period at an injunction hearing, Providence Health Care Society v. Canada, held March 13–15, 2014 in Vancouver, British Columbia. The plaintiffs sought broad interlocutory relief from the Court for the provision of prescription heroin if requested by their physicians. This article fills an identified gap in scholarship by analyzing the civil Charter challenge, including the notice of civi…

Looking Back, Looking Forward
This article offers a review of shifts in feminist legal theory since the early 1990s. We first use our respective histories and fields of expertise to provide a brief overview and highlight some key themes within feminist legal theory. We then examine Social & Legal Studies ( SLS), asking whether it has met its key goal of integrating feminist analyses at every level. Our review suggests that SLS has offered many important contributions to femin…

The Trouble with Marriage
Visual and narrative representations of mental health and addiction by law enforcement
The Criminal Addict
This article examines early Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio documentaries on drugs and addiction from 1957 to 1969. Socio-historical and discourse analyses were applied to radio documentaries in this study. This article highlights how discourse about “criminal addicts” is related to conceptions of drugs, addiction, criminality, drug treatment, people who use criminalized drugs, and the professionals who regulate them. In this article, I a…

Intersectionality and Beyond
Women's health and use of crack cocaine in context
Methamphetamine Discourse
This article examines the emergence of methamphetamine use and production as a social problem in Canada, particularly through media discourse. Rather than confine our discussion to print media, we also examine news photographs and headlines as cultural products. In addition, we briefly discuss several drug scares and media campaigns in Canada in the nineteenth century to contextualize the “crystal meth scare.” We discuss the tendency of contempor…
Autonomy for Mothers? Relational Theory and Parenting Apart
High
This article provides an analysis of the Canadian full-length feature film High, produced in 1967. It also briefly examines early drug regulation and fictive illegal drug films with a focus on representations of marijuana and women. High captures societal tensions of the 1960s, including women's liberation, counter-culture lifestyles, and marijuana use. Yet it also re-enacts discourse and symbolic frameworks about white women, marijuana, law, and…
Fragmenting Fatherhood
Poverty
Recent years have seen the retrenchment of Canadian social programs and the restructuring of the welfare state along neo-liberal lines. Social programs at both the federal and the provincial levels have been cut back, eliminated, or recast in exclusionary and punitive forms. Poverty: Rights, Social Citizenship, and Legal Activism responds to these changes by examining the ideas and practices of human rights, citizenship, legislation, and institut…
Losing the Feminist Voice? Debates on The Legal Recognition of Same Sex Partnerships in Canada
Corporatism and Legal Education in Canada
Until approximately the 1970s, Canadian law schools were primarily viewed as ‘trade schools’ whose main purpose was to provide a new generation of lawyers trained in a narrow way, without questioning the role of law or lawyers in relation to society and power. Further until the 1970s, few women, persons of colour, or Aboriginal people were admitted to Canadian law schools. Only more recently still did critical thinking made inroads on legal educa…

Family, Law and Sexuality
The author explores feminist frameworks within which questions of family, law and sexuality can best be explored, drawing on recent efforts to (re)establish materialist feminist theory. She suggests that in order to make the important link between questions of gender, sexuality, difference, desire, identity and subjectivity on the one hand, and problems of production and exploitation on the other, a materialist feminist theory must incorporate th…

Canadian Feminist Perspectives on Law
This paper provides an overview of Canadian feminist literature on law, starting with a brief chronology of the development of the scholarship from the time of the Report of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women (1970). The authors break the literature down into the five substantive areas most often written about: criminal law, family law, income redistribution, employment law, and legal education/legal profession. They also examine the maj…
Autonomy for Mothers? Relational Theory and Parenting Apart
Is There an Ideology of Motherhood in (Post)Modern Child Custody Law
The concept of the ideology of motherhood is crucial to much early feminist work on child custody law. This ideology of motherhood consisted of a set of “common-sense” expectations, described by the author. The ideology of motherhood assisted in understanding why a field where women (since the death of paternal custody) appeared to “succeed” -- statistically end up with custody of children more often then men -- could be problematic from a femini…
(Re)Placing the State
In this article I argue that an analysis of “the State” is necessary in order to understand legal developments related to “family” that are relevant to efforts to combat the oppression of heterosexual women, as well as of lesbians and gay men. Drawing on recent debates concerning postmodernism and feminist theory, I review efforts to reconceptualize the nature of the state not as a monolithic institution, but rather as a set of arenas, or the sit…
