A feminist neomaterialist exploration of bariatric surgery in Canada
Rates of bariatric (weight loss) surgery have risen sharply in recent years as interventions into fatness have become increasingly medicalized and debates surrounding it binarized. We adopted a feminist neomaterialist perspective to challenge binary framings of weight loss surgery experiences still dominating the field’s conventional and critical approaches by thinking relationally about entanglements of discourse and materiality. Within our neom…
“It Just Adds More Fuel to the Weak Woman Fire”
Perimenopause is often marked by unpredictable bodily changes. This unpredictability sits in tension with dominant cultural discourses that valorise self-discipline, control, and health optimisation. In this context, menstruation tracking apps are promoted as tools for self-management through bodily surveillance, reinforcing a “mythical norm” of bodily control and stability. Using cooperative inquiry, within a poststructuralist feminist framework…
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…
Cripping Multispecies Care
Increasingly intersecting work in disability and animal studies reveals the interconnection of oppressive hierarchies and how these operate within and across species. This article extends such dialogues into the home, considering the ways that disability, ableism, and speciesism show up in multispecies care. Pulling from thematic analysis of twenty semi-structured interviews exploring dog-human caregiving practices, we argue that humans make sens…
Rethinking Collective Trauma Through Difference-Attuned Research
This paper rethinks trauma through the lens of the COVID-19 pandemic, tracing how eugenic, ableist and other oppressive logics – long embedded in the architecture of modernist life – resurfaced in pandemic policies and systemic responses. Drawing on digital/multimedia stories alongside follow-up interviews with 14 diversely embodied women and nonbinary people, we explore how trauma moved through bodies of difference across the pandemic's official…
Problematising menstrual tracking apps
OBJECTIVES: To showcase a novel, theoretically informed methodology for conducting scoping reviews by operationalising critical theory. And to advance the field of women's digital health by applying this critical scoping review methodology (CSR) to research on menstrual tracking apps (MTAs). METHODS AND MEASURES: 116 articles published in English, between November 2015 and November 2023, focusing on MTAs, and/or user's experiences of MTAs, were t…
Body-Mapping the Affective Politics of Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery (or weight loss surgery, WLS), an increasingly common intervention into “obesity,” remains a contentious topic amongst obesity experts, critics, and fat activists. As part of a larger study employing a neomaterialist framework, we worked with four women who resided in Canada and had WLS a minimum of one year prior to create life-size body-maps representing their pre- and post-surgical experiences. As a method, body-mapping can b…
Intersectionality Meets Infrastructure
This paper traces intersectionality’s theoretical-methodological “twists and turns” to reconsider its explanatory power in elucidating relations between selves and socialites and its application in research. Questions of how researchers take up the heuristic have become charged given intersectionality’s uptake by democratic institutions as a marker of excellence alongside critiques of its appropriation by systems advancing it. Adopting a processu…
Crazy Dog-Moms’? Gendering relational dynamics, carework, and pet parenting practices in multispecies Canadian homes
Surviving in Eugenic Times
Launching from recent interest in disabled people s livelihoods in the context of global Northern societies, this paper theorizes interview descriptions of livelihoods from 20 disabled, mad, and Deaf artists in Ontario, Canada. Drawing on a critical sustainable livelihoods framework, we observe that the lives of disabled artists play out in an ethos of neoliberal-ableism that has resulted in an accelerated impetus toward death for disabled people…
AccessibleYoga for whom? The non-performativity of accessibility and inclusion on Instagram
Yoga has a long contentious history of accessibility and inclusion. Scholars and practitioner-activists today call for inclusive yoga; however, even within seemingly inclusive yoga campaigns in digital spaces, depictions of the practice often exclude bodies of difference. We use Sara Ahmed’s theorizing of non-performatives to explore #AccessibleYoga and #InclusiveYoga and understand how possibilities for bodies of difference are profuse or sparse…
Towards a Crip-Ethics
Re•Vision, an assemblage of multimedia story- and arts-based research projects, works creatively and collaboratively to advance social well-being and justice. Drawing from videos made by Canadian healthcare providers in disability-led workshops, we investigate the potential of disability arts to disrupt dominant conceptions of personhood that cast disabled embodiments as inherently vulnerable and dependent against the striving-for-autonomous, inv…
Emotion regulation as affective neoliberal governmentality
Emotion regulation is central in many therapy models, including couple and family therapy models. This article draws on poststructuralist governmentality studies and processual affect theory to offer insight into how the therapeutic concept of emotion regulation may reflect and support neoliberal affective forms of self‐governance. We suggest that couple and family therapy—through using professional discourses and affect‐oriented techniques or in…
Relaxed pedagogy
Differences as potentials
Drawing on a posthuman onto-epistemology, this paper explores movements of bodies labelled-as-disabled as creative 'choreographies' that are coproduced through the coming together of multiple material, social, discursive and affective forces across time-spaces. The purpose is to challenge thinking as usual towards re-envisioning differences as potentials rather than deficits. To do so, we consider how disability can move deficit-thinking and how …
Looking Back With Logos the Cat
In this article, we reflect on the preparatory phase of a multispecies research project focused on dog-human care relationships. Playing with creative posthumanist methodologies that seek to decenter the human, we attached light-weight videorecording devices to our companion animals' collars. As we approach a dogs-eye view of our everyday lives and interactions, we think with Jacques Derrida to ask: What does it mean to respond when met with the …
In the wake of canada’s violent eugenic legacies
Eugenics is often misunderstood as a historical set of practices that mobilized outside of Canada and ended after World War II. Less is known about canada’s influence on and participation in the practices/ideologies/movement, and even less about how contemporary fitness practices continue to be tethered to eugenics. ReVisioning Fitness aims to counter/refuse eugenic-infused fitness regimes designed to eliminate ‘unfit’ people, by centring the liv…
Graying arts access
As the normative world pushed for a return to ableist normative life in 2022, a year marked by "severe" rates of the highly infectious Omicron variant and the loss of effective public measures, such as community masking and widely available testing, participants described the need for continued access to creative and social participation via remote options that sidestepped socially exclusive and physically inaccessible spaces. Findings indicate a…

The Game of Queer Family Life
In this article we describe and analyze five videos created through an arts-informed research project, Precarious Inclusion: Studying Ontarian 2SLGBTQI+ parents' experiences childrearing in a post-legal parity framework. Precarious Inclusion used interviews and digital storytelling to investigate Ontario 2SLGBTQI+ parents' current experiences of inclusion and exclusion when navigating institutional and social interactions in everyday life in a po…
Resisting Normality with Cultural Accessibility and Slow Technology
Although the COVID-19 virus continues to circulate, there is an increasing insistence that the world "return to normal." In this paper the authors resist this pull to normalcy and the way it devalues the knowledges, vitality, and livelihoods of disabled people. They examine the crip technoscience practices used during the 2022 digital gathering Practicing the Social: Entanglements of Art and Social Justice, situating them as examples of cultural …
Misfits Meet Art and Technology
This article thinks with disability theory and artistic praxis to explore how disabled artists repurpose and invent technologies in artistic processes designed to enact care and access, extend embodiment, satiate the senses, and create crip culture. Drawing on four examples, we claim that disabled artists are creative technologists whose non-normative culture-making practices approach accessibility as a transmethodological process that requires a…
The third shift
Research on the gendered division of household work in western political economies often neglects its emotional dimensions. This conceptual paper draws on concepts of emotion work and feminist care ethics to explore gendered and intersecting divisions of emotions and emotional work in couple relationships and their implications for couple therapy. Although emotion work has been studied in workplace settings, less attention has been paid to inequa…
Episodic disability in the neoliberal university
This article explores how episodic disability (ED) is created and intensified by, present within, and pushed out of the neoliberalized academy in Canada. ED is an umbrella term for a range of physical, mental, and neurological conditions characterized by fluctuation and unpredictability. Over two million working‐age Canadians are affected by ED, with women more likely to be impacted. To consider how ED interacts with post‐secondary education, we …
Doing Justice to Intersectionality in Research
Intersectionality involves the study of the ways that race, gender, disability, sexuality, class, age, and other social categories are mutually shaped and interrelated through forces such as colonialism, neoliberalism, geopolitics, and cultural configurations to produce shifting relations of power and oppression. The concept does not always offer a clear set of tools for conducting social research. Instead, it offers varied strands of thought, po…
Becoming “the fat girl”
Project Re•Vision
The representational history of disabled people can largely be characterized as one of being put on display or hidden away. Self-representations have been a powerful part of the disability rights and culture movement, but recently scholars have analysed the ways in which these run the risk of creating a ‘single story’ that centres the experiences of white, western, physically disabled men. Here we introduce and theorize with Project Re•Vision, ou…
Imagining Disability Futurities
This article explores twelve short narrative films created by women and trans people living with disabilities and embodied differences. Produced through Project Re•Vision, these micro documentaries uncover the cultures and temporalities of bodies of difference by foregrounding themes of multiple histories: body, disability, maternal, medical, and/or scientific histories; and divergent futurities: contradictory, surprising, unpredictable, opaque, …
Imagining the Other? Ethical Challenges of Researching and Writing Women's Embodied Lives
Feminists influenced by post-conventional and critical perspectives confront a significant challenge when researching women's embodiments: the dilemma of representation. For researchers from positions of bodily privilege, issues of interpretation intensify when researching and writing across physical differences distorted by colonial and other hegemonic histories and legacies. In this article, I draw from interviews with diversely embodied women …
Pedagogical possibilities for unruly bodies
Project Re•Vision uses disability arts to disrupt stereotypical understandings of disability and difference that create barriers to healthcare. In this paper, we examine how digital stories produced through Re•Vision disrupt biopedagogies by working as body-becoming pedagogies to create non-didactic possibilities for living in/with difference. We engage in meaning making about eight stories made by women and trans people living with disabilities …
Story‐Making as Methodology
In this essay, we discuss multimedia story-making methodologies developed through Re•Vision: The Centre for Art and Social Justice that investigates the power of the arts, especially story, to positively influence decision makers in diverse sectors. Our story-making methodology brings together majority and minoritized creators to represent previously unattended experiences (e.g., around mind-body differences, queer sexuality, urban Indigenous ide…
Making spaces
In this article, we explore our experiences as researchers and participants in multimedia storytelling, an arts-informed method wherein we work with artists and aggrieved communities to speak back to dominant representations through film. In positioning ourselves as storytellers, we do research with rather than “on” or “for” participants, allowing us to connect in practical and affective ways as we co-create films. Drawing from dialogues about ou…
Normal Eating Is Counter‐Cultural
Standards for eating disorder recovery, although they originate in life‐saving methods, may be unattainable for certain individuals. We used narrative thematic analysis to explore the stories of 10 young women in eating disorder recovery. Participants' narratives highlight the complexity and counter‐cultural nature of navigating prescriptions for recovery in a sociocultural context that privileges some bodies and food‐related behaviours over othe…

Re/turning the gaze
Drawing on three decolonizing feminist arts-based research projects, we discuss possibilities for making multimedia stories that counter, respond to, and re/turn the heteropatriarchal settler colonial gaze. All three projects use a participatory videomaking method that involves misrepresented communities producing short films to advance social justice. We explore how the creation of narrative videos by Indigenous researchers, educators, students,…
Re-storying autism
This paper presents and analyzes six short first-person films produced through a collaborative multimedia storytelling workshop series focused on experiences of autism, education and inclusion. The aim of the project is to co-create new understandings of autism beyond functionalist and biomedical ones that reify autism as a problem of disordered brains and underpin special education. We fashion a body becoming disability studies in education appr…
Hashtag Recovery
People who have experienced eating disorders are making sense of and managing their own health and recoveries, in part by engaging with digital technologies. We analyzed 1056 images related to eating disorder recovery posted to Instagram using the hashtags #EDRecovery, #EatingDisorderRecovery, #AnorexiaRecovery, #BulimiaRecovery and #RecoveryWarrior to explore user performances of eating disorder recovery. We situated our analysis in a critical D…
The emotional toll of postfeminist fatherhood
Postfeminism shapes the political economy of the workforce and household, constituting a re‐entrenchment of traditional heterosexual gender regimes and the pressure to transgress them. Focusing on the understudied area of postfeminist masculinity, we analyze the emotional toll some fathers experience as a result of the fraught expectations to be the breadwinner, nurturing parent, and enlightened feminist spouse who completes equal domestic duties…
Bodies at the Intersections
In this article we examine the challenges and possibilities of mobilizing intersectionality as a theoretical and methodological construct through a collaborative, arts-based research project. This project, Through Thick and Thin, explored how persons in queer communities who identify (partially or wholly) as women and who claim multiple intersecting positions negotiate, are affected by, and resist body ideals and body management expectations. We …
Cultivating disability arts in Ontario
Although Deaf and disability arts has been practiced under this name since the 1970s in Canada, within the last 15 years it has begun to be recognized as its own field of arts practice and production by arts councils and cultural funding bodies (Gorman 2007). Increased funding has accelerated the production of Deaf and disability art and has increased attention from arts organizations and audiences alike. With this leveling-up of Deaf and disabil…
Recovering Uncertainty
Slow Story-Making in Urgent Times
In the context of an alarmingly sped up 'slow death' for disabled people living under emergency COVID-19 medical triage protocols in Ontario, Canada, that produce, naturalize, and weaponize our vulnerability, we assert that slow digital story-making opens a threshold space filled with complex, relational, lively collaborative worldmaking. Here, we analyze videos made by three digital/multimedia story-makers, known as experimenters, who express th…
Difference-attuned witnessing
In this paper, we interrogate notions of affect, vulnerability and difference-attuned empathy, and how they relate to bearing witness across difference—specifically, connecting through creativity, experiencing the risks and rewards of vulnerability, and witnessing the expression of difficult emotions and the recounting of affect-imbued events within an arts-based process called digital/multi-media storytelling (DST). Data for this paper consists …
Difference Within and Without
Re•Vision, an assemblage of multimedia storytelling and arts-based research projects, works creatively and collaboratively with misrepresented communities to advance social well-being, inclusion, and justice. Drawing from videos created by health care providers in disability artist-led workshops, this article investigates the potential of disability arts to disrupt dominant conceptions of disability and invulnerable embodiments, and proliferate n…
Identifying and working through settler ignorance
As Canadian education systems implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, various expressions of white settler resistance become amplified. This article examines the potential for settler-educators’ stories to teach about processes for working through settler ignorance. Insight into the question of how to transform settler subjectivities and relationships with Indigenous peoples cuts across theoretical terrain in three fi…
Fat Reproductive Justice
In this paper, we explored the experiences of people in larger bodies seeking fertility and/or pregnancy care through a reproductive justice lens, integrating an understanding of weight stigma with an understanding of who has access to reproductive technologies, who is “allowed” to become pregnant, and the discourses that surround pregnancy. We conducted a thematic analysis of the narratives of 17 participants who had been labeled “overweight” or…

Asbestos in Vermont schools
Materials containing asbestos were found in 75 per cent of 336 Vermont Schools constructed or renovated between 1946 and 1974, with two-fifths of the materials in student exposure areas. Findings from visits to all schools contrasted with an earlier investigation relying on self-reporting. Of 105 schools with student exposure disclosed by the current survey, only eight had been identified in the earlier effort. Ceiling tiles, previously not belie…

Alterity In/Of Happiness
This paper examines how fat and disabled subjects may be taught to appear as happy through biopedagogies in order to manage shame and disgust evoked by their unruly, non-conforming bodies. We begin by articulating what we mean by “biopedagogies”. We then unpack how the requirement to be happy feeds directly into a neoliberal agenda, which demands we must take care of ourselves both economically and emotionally in order to be considered good citiz…

Natalia Koulinka, Belarus and its Flight from Democracy
The article seeks to answer to the question: what defined people’s choice when they voted for the first time, in 1994, Aleksandr Lukashenko into office. While agreeing that there is a significant amount of research on this topic, the author aims to illuminate what exactly helped the electorate to navigate and choose between the nearly identical promises of social justice and well-being, which were made by all six candidates for the presidency in …

Eating Disorder Prevention as Biopedagogy
The authors describe eating disorder prevention as biopedagogy: that is, as a set of expectations for how to manage one’s body and self to be a healthy productive citizen. This biopedagogy lands differently on different “bodies of risk”—those of people coded as at risk for eating disorders and those coded as at risk for “obesity” in a social milieu that marks certain bodies, such as those of different sizes, sexualities, ethnicities, socioeconomi…
Fatness and Failing Citizenship
This article examines how queer persons negotiate the technologies of health deployed to shape sexual citizenship, especially in relation to body size. Beginning with the claim that fatness is always already queered, the authors bring Jasbir Puar's concept of homonationalism into conversation with Samantha Murray's argument that fat persons are positioned as failed citizens. The authors illustrate how fat embodied subjects confront problematics o…
