Facing Eugenics
Facing Eugenics is a social history of sexual sterilization operations in twentieth-century Canada. Looking at real-life experiences of men and women who, either coercively or voluntarily, participated in the largest legal eugenics program in Canada, it considers the impact of successive legal policies and medical practices on shaping our understanding of contemporary reproductive rights. The book also provides deep insights into the broader implications of medical experimentation, institutionalization, and health care in North America. Erika Dyck uses a range of historical evidence, including medical files, court testimony, and personal records to place mental health and intelligence at the centre of discussions regarding reproductive fitness. Examining acts of resistance alongside heavy-handed decisions to sterilize people considered unfit, Facing Eugenics illuminates how reproductive rights fit into a broader discussion of what constitutes civil liberties, modern feminism, and contemporary psychiatric survivor and disability activism.
Dark Promise
Some choices tear your heart out, but they can never be undone. Lara and Trevor flee Seattle in the wake of rising chaos. Demons converge on what’s left of civilization, urging it to implode even faster. Constantly hungry, besieged by dark forces, Lara and Trevor need every resource they’ve developed as a couple to keep from ripping each other apart. Neither of them trust Lara’s half-baked magic, but it’s all that stands between survival and certain death for them and their unborn child. The remote location that was supposed to solve all their problems actually made them worse. Rash choices throw Trevor into a confrontation with his deepest fears, but he doesn’t back down. Lara’s life hangs in the balance, and he’ll do anything to get her back. Anything.
Female Doctors in Canada
Female Doctors in Canada is an accessible collection of articles by experienced physicians and researchers exploring how systems, practices, and individuals must change as medicine becomes an increasingly female-dominated profession. As the ratio of practicing physicians shifts from predominately male to predominately female, issues such as work hours, caregiving, and doctor-patient relationships will all be affected. Canada's medical education is based on a system that has always been designed by and for men; this is also true of our healthcare systems, influencing how women practice, what type of medicine they choose to practice, and how they wish to balance their personal lives with their work. With the intent to open a larger conversation, Female Doctors in Canada reconsiders medical education, health systems, and expectations, in light of the changing face of medicine. Highlighting the particular experience of women working in the medical profession, the editors trace the history of female practitioners, while also providing a perspective on the contemporary struggles women face as they navigate a system that was tailored to the male experience, and is yet to be modified.
Reading Canadian Women's and Gender History
Inspired by the question of "what's next?" in the field of Canadian women's and gender history, this broadly historiographical volume represents a conversation among established and emerging scholars who share a commitment to understanding the past from intersectional feminist perspectives. It includes original essays on Quebecois, Indigenous, Black, and immigrant women's histories and tackles such diverse topics as colonialism, religion, labour, warfare, sexuality, and reproductive labour and justice. Intended as a regenerative retrospective of a critically important field, this collection both engages analytically with the current state of women's and gender historiography in Canada and draws on its rich past to generate new knowledge and areas for inquiry.
Care at Home for People Living with Dementia

The Proceedings of the 19th Annual History of Medicine Days Conference 2010
This volume is the second in a peer-reviewed series of Proceedings Volumes from the Calgary History of Medicine Days conferences, produced by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. The History of Medicine Days is a two day, national conference held annually at the University of Calgary, Canada, where undergraduate and early graduate students from across Canada, the US, the UK and Europe give paper and poster presentations on a wide variety of topics from the history of medicine and health care. The selected 2010 conference papers assembled in this volume particularly comprise the history of Applications of Science to Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, Illness and Disease, Stigma and Gender, Neurology and Psychiatry, and Eugenics. The 2010 keynote address was delivered by Distinguished Professor of the History of Nursing and Public Health, Dr Geertje Boschma from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, and is reprinted in the current volume. This volume also includes the abstracts of all 2010 conference presentations and is well-illustrated with diagrams and images pertaining to the history of medicine.
Being Interrupted
Beginning with a ‘Street Nativity Play’ that didn’t end as planned, and finishing with an open-ended conversation in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, "Being Interrupted" locates an institutionally-anxious Church of England within the wider contexts of divisions of race and class in ‘the ruins of empire’, alongside ongoing gender inequalities, the marginalization of children, and catastrophic ecological breakdown. In the midst of this bleak picture, Al Barrett and Ruth Harley open a door to a creative disruption of the status quo, ‘from the outside, in’: the in-breaking of the wild reality of the ‘Kin-dom’ of God. Through careful and unsettling readings in Mark’s gospel, alongside stories from a multicultural outer estate in east Birmingham, they paint a vivid picture of an 'alternative economy' for the Church's life and mission, which begins with transformative encounters with neighbours and strangers at the edges of our churches, our neighbourhoods and our imaginations, and offers new possibilities for repentance and resurrection.

Trevor Denoble shields his secrets with a stunning body and a boatload of British charm. The airline he works for folds. Lara’s changing into someone he barely recognizes, and the rest of his carefully crafted life isn’t in much better shape. Living in a world teetering on the edge of ana...
