Possibilities for Intersectional Theorizing in Canadian Historiography: The Subaltern Narrative of Canadian Medical Schools
Bibliographic record
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.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
