Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) in the United States has recently adopted an approach based on the principles of the Recovery movement — a view of treatment informed by addiction-as-disease models but also incorporating social, psychological, and spiritual components. Although organizations that administer drug treatment services claim that the shift represents a more client-centered, individualistic approach, it may not meet the needs of the many individuals who use MMT to reduce the harms of drug use, like overdose, rather than as a way to become abstinent. In this article, I use interview data from treatment providers to argue against institutional claims of Recovery as an individualistic model. My research demonstrates how — despite the wide variety of treatment goals among people on MMT — the Recovery discourse positions and organizes treatment strictly as abstinence-based, self-help. Moreover, I show how the Recovery model serves as the justification for an expansion of clinics' ability to surveil and intervene in aspects of people's lives which had previously been seen as outside of MMT's purview, including nutrition, public service, and spirituality. In conclusion, I argue that Recovery restricts MMT's ability to reduce harms, like overdose, in the lives of people who use drugs, and recommend that MMT adopt a more open-ended, low-threshold approach to treatment.

This is a preliminary exploration of the work of Avrom Yanovsky (1911–1979) as a cultural producer associated with the radical left in Canada. The historical sieve of cultural selection has not favoured him, but the name "Avrom," with which he signed most of his work, is a recurring signifier in the historical memory of the Canadian left. Researchers in the field are often aware of the many political cartoons he published in Communist newspapers such as The Worker and others from the early 1930s onwards. In addition to cartoons, Yanovsky's cultural output included portraits, sketches, illustrations, stage sets, costumes, banners, murals and other art. He invented original characters and stories for Canadian comic books and worked on animated films and documentaries. He undertook publicity and labour education projects for unions and was also prominent in the Canadian Society of Graphic Art. An exponent of Yiddish culture, he was active in the cultural life of the United Jewish People's Order and a familiar figure at their summer camps. He was widely known for his popular "chalk talks," which he modelled on the practice of J.W. Bengough, the politically engaged cartoonist of an earlier generation. Yanovsky shared Margaret Fairley's views on the responsibilities of the artist-revolutionary, and his occasional writings focused on the centrality of culture in any strategy to promote radical social change.

ASEAN member states represent a region that has experienced a dramatic reduction in mass atrocity crimes in the last forty years. Scholars have identified three structural explanations for this reduction: the decrease in the use of mass atrocities as a tool of war, rising incomes, and the spread of democracy. The evolution of complex and contested human rights norms during this same period contributed significantly to the positive role played by the three structural factors in the decline of atrocity crimes. This paper highlights the human rights norms that anchor ASEAN atrocity prevention mechanisms and suggests that the association can serve as a model for other regional organizations.
