Giving It Raw
30 years ago, the world was a very different place. That's when Francisco Ibáñez-Carrasco, a native of Santiago, Chile, moved to Vancouver, discovered he was HIV-positive and was faced with the question of how to seize his life. In 1985 terms, he had an unsurvivable illness. In his own terms, he had new license to face his mortality with grit and dark humor. A no-holds-barred account of the irreverent, dirty, and illuminating escapades in Carrasco's three decades of living, working in HIV clinics, and being involved in the BDSM and fetish community. Giving It Raw, is the first memoir from the celebrated novelist and beloved enfant terrible of Canadian literature.
Flesh Wounds and Purple Flowers
Nominated for a Commonwealth Writers Prize, this extravagant and tragicomic novel is told in the musical lilt of Spanglish.

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Rehabilitation Sciences
The impact of race, sex, gender, disability, and socioeconomic status on health and quality of life has been well established. Now, perhaps more than ever, there is a demand for equitable and timely access to rehabilitation. Incorporating principles of equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility into clinical practice and research is essential for addressing the unique needs of rehabilitation clients. There is also a need to critically examine the integration of anti-oppressive and anti-racist frameworks into rehabilitation care. Strategies that promote accessible and affordable participation, health promotion, technology, and interdisciplinary collaboration in rehabilitation are also needed. The impact of gender, sexual orientation, race and religion, and socioeconomic status on rehabilitation service delivery and outcomes is less well known. Within the context of rehabilitation science, we need to understand these differences and illuminate how to better serve equity-deserving groups.
Learning and Teaching Community-Based Research
Community-Based Research, or CBR, is a mix of innovative, participatory approaches that put the community at the heart of the research process. Learning and Teaching Community-Based Research shows that CBR can also operate as an innovative pedagogical practice, engaging community members, research experts, and students. This collection is an unmatched source of information on the theory and practice of using CBR in a variety of university- and community-based educational settings. Developed at and around the University of Victoria, and with numerous examples of Indigenous-led and Indigenous-focused approaches to CBR, Learning and Teaching Community Based-Research will be of interest to those involved in community outreach, experiential learning, and research in non-university settings, as well as all those interested in the study of teaching and learning.

Wilde Stories 2008
As such literary movements as interstitial and slipstream gain momentum, more and more authors interweave their traditional stories with gay themes as coming out, homophobia, and self-as-other, with a bit of the strange and weird. Named after one of the founding fathers of gay speculative fiction, Wilde Stories is a new annual anthology that offers readers the best of such stories from the prior year. Editor Steve Berman, a finalist for both the Lambda Literary and Andre Norton Awards, has collected an engaging selection of the fantastical, the strange, and the scary from such notable authors as Victor J. Banis, Hal Duncan and Lee Thomas.
(Post)Critical Methodologies: The Science Possible After the Critiques
In the World Library of Educationalists series, international experts themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces – extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and practical contributions – so the world can read them in a single manageable volume.
