The shadow side of occupational therapy: Necropower, state racism and colonialism by Pier-Luc Turcotte, Dave Holmes

“…To prevent the recurrence of these injustices, history must be unveiled and occupational therapists urged to come to terms with their own involvement and responsibility.Objective and Method Utilising Achille Mbembe’s concept of necropolitics, this academic essay blends select historical and philosophical perspectives to explore occupational therapy’s concealed role in manifestations of institutionalised violence.Results By examining its roles in World War II and France’s colonisation of Algeria, we make visible the development of occupational therapy’s distinct ‘shadow side’.

“…Drawing on ethnographic research conducted along migration trajectories linking Afghanistan to Germany in Iran, Turkey, Greece and the so-called Balkan route between 2018 and 2022, the article critically engages with two issues that contribute to the enactment of asymmetrical power relations between migrants and researchers: First, it demonstrates how passport hierarchies determine researchers’ very capacity to conduct multi-sited research and to follow their research interlocutors across borders, privileging those with passports that allow visa-free entry to multiple countries. …”
