Thanks to ActiveHistory.ca for having me to write up some notes on the thinking behind Bill 18, which I think is a “move on the part of an emboldened right-wing in Alberta to put a thumb on its own side of the academic scale.” activehistory.ca/blog/2024/05/0…

Attn: Edinburgh folks! FREE zine-making workshop on women's health in Scotland! Theme: What are your wishes, visions, demands for the future of women's health in Scotland?

From Dr. Karissa Patton and Nancy Janovicek: "This focus on parental rights ignores the fact that safety is not always guaranteed at home." #SexEd #SexualHealth #ABLeg #ABPoli activehistory.ca/blog/2024/05/2…

Lessons from history about the ongoing push for so-called “parental rights” when it comes to youth, trans rights, and access to reproductive and sexual health information. #histmed #histyouth #reprohist And always a inspired by my work with Nancy Janovicek and Centre for Sexuality!

The current conversations about comprehensive sex ed vs parental rights aren't new. Check out this look back at how the Centre has shared information about sexual health, contraception and more since our founding in 1972.
