  Call for Papers - Forgotten Bodies

  Forgotten Bodies will provide a forum in which postgraduate researchers can explore often overlooked discourses, representations and practices relating to embodiment, sexuality and gender. Previous research into this field has often urged overly simplistic hegemonic models of practices, desires and identities, which this conference hopes to reassess. Our main objective is to explore the challenges of not only researching, including but also re-positioning so-called ‘forgotten bodies’ in academic programmes. Abstract Submission deadline: October 30, 2009.

  Sexual device manual for persons with disabilities

It includes research, clinical expertise, and product information to aid with dialogue surrounding sexual and reproductive issues and disabilities.

The devices included are a sampling of what is available (in Canada) in 2009. Sexual Device Manual for Persons with Disabilities
