  • Reading Ashley Smith
    Re: Reading Ashley Smith: Critically Unpacking Government by Discursive Figures of Ashley as Girl Produced in the Smith Case By Rebecca Bromwich A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario 2015 © 2015 Rebecca Bromwich Abstract In this dissertation, I explore how Ashley Smith has become socially understood as a “case.” I perform a critical discourse analysis of figures of Ashley Smith as technologies of governance. I argue that the Smith case ought not to be read as a case of anomalous system failure but as an extreme, but foreseeable, result of the routine and everyday brutality of a society and bureaucracies’ necropolitical security apparatus. I map a chronological trajectory in which the “official story” of Inmate Smith gives way through the process of celebritization and sacralization of “Child Ashley” to a widely accepted understanding of Ashley Smith as a mislocated mental health subject: “Patient Smith.” This analysis reveals that seeming progressive turn to understanding her as a victim of a failed system of mental health leaves intact, and even reinforces, logics and systems of gender, security, risk, race thinking and exclusion that make her death and the death of other prisoners predictable. I demonstrate how the logics of risk, mental health and legal discourses in the juridical field intersected with discourses of the girl in ways that made alternative readings and Ashley Smith’s own narration of her story illegible and unwritable. Further, I argue that certain operating logics predetermine the labeling of properly constituted adolescent girls’ noncompliance as madness and adolescent boys’ noncompliance as criminality.

  • Cutting Knowledge: the Pathologization of Self-Injury in Correctional Discourse
    Cutting Knowledge: The Pathologization of Self-Injury in Correctional Discourse by Cristine Raquel Rotenberg A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Sociology Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014 Cristine Raquel Rotenberg Abstract This thesis critically examines correctional discourse on prisoner self-injury produced by the Correctional Service of Canada’s (CSC) Research Branch (RB) between 1990 and 2012. Since 2010, the RB has published over 700 pages worth of research on prisoner self- injury. This new wave of research is identified in this thesis as a significant growth in correctional knowledge on self-injury. Self-injury in correctional environments has been a topic of much debate in recent years, where academics and governments alike have assessed the ability of the prison to adequately manage and treat self-injuring prisoners. Stepping back from these debates of the punitive versus therapeutic capabilities of the prison (Hannah-Moffat, 2001; Kendall, 1994; Kilty, 2006, 2008b), this thesis examines what knowledges on prisoner self-injury are produced in correctional discourse and how these knowledges both enable and constrain understandings of self-injury in the prisoner population. Through a discourse analysis, this thesis identifies the discursive shifts in correctional knowledges on self-injury. Grounded in the extant clinical and correctional discourse that has historically constructed self-injury as practiced by manipulative, violent or suicidal prisoners, the new surge of research demonstrates a shift to predominately pathological explanations that aim to reduce the deviant behaviour to the manifestation of a mental illness.

  • Faster Together Campaign – a National Volunteer- Based Initiative Designed to Encourage Up-Take of COVID-19 Vaccinations
    Press Release Cross Canada Coalition Launches Campaign to Encourage People to Get Vaccinated as Soon as They Can FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ottawa, ON, May 28, 2021 – Today marks the launch of the Faster Together campaign – a national volunteer- based initiative designed to encourage up-take of COVID-19 vaccinations. Within a short period of time, dozens of organizations representing business, industrial and educational sectors, labour unions, as well as individuals have come together to help develop a campaign, around the theme “Getting vaccinated can bring us back together, faster”. The message is simple: the faster we all do our part and get vaccinated, the faster we can all get back together. This is how we get our lives and businesses back to normal and the business community is eager to help assure Canadians“ that vaccines are safe and effective. We’ll all get to the finish line faster by working together. — Perrin Beatty, President and CEO, Canadian Chamber of Commerce The volunteer Task Group is co-chaired by Bruce Anderson of Abacus Data & spark*advocacy, and Hassan Yussuff, President of the Canadian Labour Congress, and welcomes any organization or individual that wants to help use the creative materials the campaign will make available to reach people and encourage vaccinations. Vaccination is an important tool in the fight against COVID-19. Innovative initiatives like “Faster Together” bring organizations together to help encourage Canadians to get vaccinated when it’s“ their turn, protecting themselves and their communities, and helping us get back together, faster. — The Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Health The latest research by Abacus Data shows that 21% of Canadians are hesitant about getting a COVID-19 vaccination.
