ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sasha Durakov Warren is a writer based in Minneapolis. He is the author of Storming Bedlam, which reimagines mental health care and its radical possibilities in the context of its global development under capitalism. His experiences within the psychiatric system and commitment to radical politics led him to cofound the group Hearing Voices Twin Cities, which provides an alternative social space for individuals to discuss often stigmatized extreme experiences and network with one-another. Following the George Floyd Uprising in 2020, he founded the project Of Unsound Mind to trace the histories of psychiatry, social work, and public health's connections to policing, prisons, and various disciplinary and managerial technologies.
