DESCRIPTION:Vous êtes conviés à la deuxième conférence du Groupe de recherc
 he en santé et droit (GRSD) de l'année\, laquelle sera prononcée par la po

 te activité est admissible pour 1\,5 heures de formation continue obligato
 ire tel que déclaré par les membres du Barreau du Québec.\n\nRésumé\n\n[En
  anglais seulement] Critical mental health and socio-legal scholars have d
 emonstrated that psychiatric expert knowledge is foundational to judicial 
 decision making in a broad range of cases\, and that judges rely uncritica
 lly on facts and diagnoses established by psychiatrists. Yet psychiatrists
  also tend to rely uncritically on facts established by other actors in me
 dical files.\n\nUsing ethnographic research methods\, I examine how facts 
 and truths about mental illness and dangerousness are produced in involunt
 ary admission (also called civil commitment) cases in Poland. In this pres
 entation\, I will look specifically at the role of paramedics\, who\, as a
  first response team\, generate facts about mental illness. These facts ar
 e then featured in the work of other medical and legal professionals invol
 ved in these cases.\n\nThe presentation will focus on how seemingly object
 ive fact-finding by paramedics and other professionals is shaped by instit
 utional priorities within the context of civil commitment\, with an import
 ant impact on practice. Engaging with these technicalities of knowledge an
 d document production allows to move beyond arguments about ‘implicit bias
 ’ in attitudes of individual decisionmakers\, and toward an understanding 
 of how legal and psychiatric opinions are systemically generated. The pres
 entation will conclude with commentaries on gaps and inadequacies within c
 urrent approaches to civil commitment that flow from these insights.\n\nLa
  conférencière\n\n[En anglais seulement] Dr. Agnieszka Doll is a Postdocto
 ral Fellow with the Research Group on Health and Law at ºÚÁÏÉç'
 s Faculty of Law. Before entering academia\, she was a lawyer in Poland. H
 er research focuses on legal and social regimes pertaining to psychiatric 
 involuntary hospitalization\, processes of knowledge production\, professi
 onal practices\, institutions\, socio-legal studies\, gender and law\, and
  qualitative and feminist methodologies. Agnieszka Doll is particularly in
 terested in the medico-legal borderland. In her doctoral thesis\, Lawyerin
 g for the ‘Mad’: Institutional Ethnography of Involuntary Admission to Psy
 chiatric Facilities in Poland\, she explored ethnographically the socio-le
 gal organization of the procedure for involuntary psychiatric admission de
 cisions in Poland\, and the work of legal aid lawyers who represent people
  subjected to forced institutionalization. Currently she is developing a p
 roject on gender and post-psychiatric hospital reintegration.\n\n \n
