Possibilities for Intersectional Theorizing in Canadian Historiography: The Subaltern Narrative of Canadian Medical Schools
Abstract
This paper presents the history and contemporary position of medical schools located in the social, political, and economic context of Canada as a settler colonial nation. It argues that Canada, as a growing capitalist state that was, is, and will continue to be built on a gender- and race-based hierarchies, which are reflected in the establishment of and reforms to medical schools as institutions. Through examination of three key themes: the gendered division of medical school students, racist admissions practices, and the modern paradigm of biomedicine, this analysis unmasks the suppressed antagonism between Canadian medical schools and projects of equity.
