Efrat Gold: Learning from Disability Studies, Anti-Psychiatry, and Mad Studies

Efrat Gold is a PhD Candidate at the University of Toronto, engaging in mad and disability studies. Through her writing and activism, she challenges dominant views of mental health and illness, moving towards contextualized and relational understandings of well-being. Gold critiques psychiatry, focusing on those most vulnerable and marginalized by psychiatric power, discourse, and treatments. Her work is staunchly feminist, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive. Through explorations into meaning-making and constructions of legitimacy, Gold unsettles psychiatric hegemony by ‘returning to the sites where certainty has been produced’. This video is part of the project, Windvane: Paths to Wellbeing. Aimed primarily at students in higher education, Windvane offers paths for exploring how we can connect with our natural elements and energies, harmonizing and localizing them as strengths. The guide includes engaged exercises for self-assessing and promoting wellbeing and flourishing. This video was filmed at Christie Pits Park in Toronto, Canada. The city of Toronto is located in the Dish With One Spoon Territory. The Dish With One Spoon is a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. Subsequent Indigenous Nations and Peoples, Europeans and all newcomers have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect. We wish to acknowledge our privilege in being able to develop this project here. Windvane is created by Dr Frances Garrett of the University of Toronto with funding from eCampusOntario.
