Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Earlier this year I published a book entitled, Mad Studies: The Basics. This book introduces Mad Studies as a critical orientation akin to, and often intersecting with, crip theory, queer theory, critical race studies, feminism, decolonialism, and other critical studies. As this suggests, Mad Studies is not simply the study of mental health and illness. Rather, Mad Studies embraces “a liberationist desire to resist, transform, and abolish oppressive practices within the systems that create marginalization, and implement frameworks and responses to madness and distress that are grounded within the collective knowledge of those deemed Mad” (pp. 1-2). I wrote this book as a contribution to Mad Studies field-building; despite its growth, there are still many who have never heard of Mad Studies. The field is sometimes still referred to as ‘emerging,’ but with a robust body of literature, an international journal, and many post-secondary course offerings, it’s safe to say that Mad Studies is an established field in its own right. The book showcases some of the many contributions of Mad Studies and demonstrates that it is no longer emerging; it has arrived!

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
