We take great pleasure in announcing the upcoming conference, Controlling Sexuality and Reproduction: Past and Present, to be held August 12-14, 2015 at the University of Lethbridge. The conference will explore and challenge historical and current efforts to control certain kinds of sex and reproduction, and will examine what kinds of ‘normal’ values are being upheld.
Conference Themes:
- Law, Ethics and Sexual/Reproductive Control
- Medicine and Sexual/Reproductive Control
- Social Services and Sexual/Reproductive Control
- Representation and Controlling Sexuality
Confirmed Keynote Speakers: Paul A. Lombardo and Dorothy Roberts
In addition to academic papers, we offer a platform for the discussion of personal experiences of sexual and reproductive control, experiences of resistance, and the engagement of community and self-advocacy groups in working toward inclusive and positive sexual and reproductive models. We welcome proposals from academics, graduate students, community members, activists and advocates.
250 word abstracts for single papers or individual presentations, and 500 words for panels should be submitted by midnight, February 15, 2015.
For more information or to submit an abstract, visit the conference website.
