Law, Medicine And Madness
This course introduces some of the key social justice issues taken up in the emergent interdisciplinary field of critical Mad Studies. In bringing together resources from case law and public policy, literature and the visual arts, scholarly research, institutional archives and first-person narrative, we explore different, often contested, approaches to representing both historical and contemporary imaginings of madness and Mad subjects in Canadian law, medicine and culture.
