“…Of these 27 works, Containing Madness (Kitty & Dej, 2018); Critical Inquires for Social Justice in Mental Health (Morrow & Malcoe, 2017); Mad Matters: A Critical Reader in Canadian Mad Studies (LeFrançois et al, 2013); Madness, Distress and the Politics of Disablement (Spandler et al, 2015); Searching for a Rose Garden: Challenging Psychiatry, Fostering Mad Studies (Russo & Sweeney, 2016); Interrogating psychiatric narratives of madness: Documented lives (Daley & Pilling, 2021); Literatures of Madness: Disability Studies and Mental Health (Donaldson, 2018); and The Routledge International Handbook of Mad Studies (Beresford & Russo, 2021), met the search criteria.

Students diagnosed with mental illness are progressively composing the makeup of our universities’ student bodies. With more “mad” students making their way into the academy, this has encouraged many in Mad Studies to consider the challenges they confront in pursuing post-secondary studies. The purpose of this structured literature review of the Mad Studies canon is to tease out themes apropos to the education of adults through a critical pedagogy lens. Themal categories were organized around: Mad Studies course development and curriculum, popular culture and arts-based education, contesting the university seeped in sanism, surveilling mad bodies/minds, the university demands resilience, the politics of course instruction/teaching, mad disclosures, educational policy, and threat and risk management. This paper concludes by discussing the glaring voids in the literature and recommendations for future research.

“…Looking closer at the theory and praxis on which psychiatry is founded, we see that psychiatric theory is maintained by practices that routinely compromise rights, fail to be transparent about its own shortcomings and failures (Scull, 2022) but also seek to ensure domination over patient narratives and counter narratives and history (Reaume, 2007). Even today, as psychiatry continues to vie for domination over patient narratives/counter narratives (Million, 2013;Daley & Pilling 2021, Pilling, 2022 Mad Studies praxis pushes back against this supremacy. 2 In our view, Mad Studies has a right to preserve its scholarship and claim space in arenas that hold structural power (such as medicine, psychology, law).…”

The opinions, writings, artwork, and cultural production of academics and non-academic mental health service users/survivors form the basis of what we have come to understand as Mad Studies. In this essay, we introduce what we mean by Mad Studies “praxis" (i.e., theory-informed action) in the hopes of clarifying the distinction between other similar frameworks doing social justice/anti-oppression work. Our argument is that Mad Studies praxis gives us a specific multi-vocal vocabulary for advancing our understanding, critical analyses, and emancipatory projects which build on the interdependence between academic and community activism. Mad Studies has a rich theoretical praxis based on its enduring historical, intellectual, and community-centered mobilisation despite criticisms and challenges.

“…Our desire is for the journal to create much-needed space for ongoing critique of the constraining systems, structures and ideologies that dictate which bodyminds, behaviours, lived experiences, and knowledges are deemed sufficiently "scholarly", credible and valid (Clare, 2017;Gorman et al, 2013;LeFrançois & Voronka, 2022;Pilling, 2022). We seek to make opportunities to redress barriers to lived experience leadership that exist in all layers of the academic ecosystem (Scholz et al, 2019).…”
