Summary
This summary is machine-generated.This study explores how "Mad Time" can challenge conventional research methods, promoting epistemic justice for individuals experiencing madness. It suggests valuing diverse paces and embracing non-linear approaches in academic and activist settings.
Area Of Science
- Social Sciences
- Disability Studies
- Research Methodology
Background
- Growing awareness of epistemic injustice against individuals labeled as "mad."
- Current inclusion efforts in research often fail to dismantle harmful, psychiatrizing methodologies.
- Existing research practices can perpetuate exclusion and carceral responses to madness.
Purpose Of The Study
- To examine how research methodologies can enact temporal violence.
- To explore the potential of "Mad Time" to disrupt normative, sanist research practices.
- To propose alternative methodological approaches for achieving epistemic justice.
Main Methods
- Theoretical integration of "Mad Time" concepts and post-qualitative inquiry.
- Analysis of peer support worker experiences and personal "temporal conflicts" in research.
- Focus on "maddening" research practices within academic contexts.
Main Results
- "Mad Time" offers potential to provoke alternative methodological practices.
- Key strategies include rethinking data, embracing "stumbling, circling, scrambling (becoming)," and valuing varied paces.
- These approaches can move research closer to epistemic justice.
Conclusions
- Thinking with "Mad Time" can foster methodological innovation.
- Implications extend to both academic research and activism.
- Potential to create more inclusive and just research environments for marginalized voices.

Conformity is the change in a person’s behavior to go along with the group, even if that person does not agree with the group.
Asch’s Original Study
Solomon Asch conducted several experiments in the 1950s to determine how people are affected by the thoughts and behaviors of other people. In one study, a group of participants was shown a series of printed line segments of different lengths: a, b, and c. Participants were then shown a fourth line segment: x. They...
Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.
History
In the late 1800s, social psychologist Gustave Le Bon first posited the hypothesis that an individual’s behavior can differ between being in a crowd...
The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.
Social Roles
One major social determinant of human behavior is our social role—a pattern of behavior that is expected of a person in a given setting or group (Hare, 2003). Each one of us has several social roles. You may be, at the same time, a student, a parent, an aspiring...
An ecological disturbance is a temporary disruption in the environment resulting from abiotic, biotic, or anthropogenic factors, causing a pronounced change in an ecosystem. The impact of an ecological disturbance, which can depend on its intensity, frequency, and spatial distribution, plays a significant role in shaping the species diversity within the ecosystem.
Ecological disturbances can be caused by an event as small as the trampling of underbrush to an incident as wide-ranging as a...
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...
Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.
