This week's blog is a focus on Den(n)is McNamara, a frequent patient in and out of the Provincial Lunatic Asylum in the mid-1840s. One of the things distressing this Irishman the most was how to provide for his family after their arrival in Toronto. buff.ly/3PRoITZ

This week's #blog post is from @GabrielleKathl8, "Collaborative #Writing." An excerpt: "I was reminded of how a #feminist methodology to the work that happens behind the scenes is just as important as that which informs the type of data collected..." buff.ly/3XeI4DV

155 years ago today, Mary Boyd attempted suicide for the second time. By nightfall, she was at the Provincial Lunatic Asylum in Toronto. From her admission record, one would never know this was really all about sex, abortion, and medical experimentation. apple.co/44c9GwI
