This book presents a critical examination of the development of
user involvement within research, and investigates the issues
currently preventing a productive integration of Mad knowledges
within research and practice. Drawing on social, linguistic and
critical theories, it proposes the conditions needed to address the
development of Mad epistemologies. The author's unique approach
deliberately highlights her own positionality and draws on decades
of experience as a service recipient, survivor, activist and
researcher to illustrate the structural and symbolic barriers
faced. Employing concepts including epistemic injustice,
individualization, normalization and structural violence, it
suggests a radically new way of articulating 'what's the matter
with us?' In doing so, the book itself goes some way towards
enacting the radical challenge to academic and epistemic
hierarchies which, it is argued, will be required to further
advance mad knowledges and user-led research. Crucially, it
demonstrates how this approach can be both methodologically and
conceptually rigorous. This novel work holds important insights for
students and scholars across the humanities and social sciences;
particularly those working in the areas of critical psychology,
disability studies, Mad studies, feminist studies, critical race
theory, and Queer theory.
