Simon Adam is an Associate Professor in the School of Nursing at York University, Canada. His work focuses on madness--its various institutional and discursive dimensions, the experience of the psychiatrized Other, and alternative and counter-hegemonic ways of conceptualizing 'mental illness,' suffering, and crisis. His approach is informed by process ontologies and critical posthumanism to examine emerging ways of resistance and refusal of psychiatric violence and its attendant identity enclosures. Central to Simon's work is theorizing the forms of subjectivity emerging at the intersection of the psychiatrized Other subject and the posthuman condition.
