DESCRIPTION:Abortion Beyond Bounds\n	Co-sponsored with IGSF and Centre for R
 esearch on Gender\,  Health\, and Medicine\n\nTo mark the 30th anniversary
  of the decriminalization of abortion in Canada\, this bilingual two-day c
 onference organized by the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Institute for Gender\, Sexuality and Fem
 inist Studies (IGSF) and the Centre for Research on Gender\, Health\, and 
 Medicine will focus on the 'self-management' in order to assess contempora
 ry questions\, research\, and activism around abortion both locally and gl
 obally.\n\nThe very recent legalization of the abortion pill (mifepristone
 ) in 2016\, with distribution being rolled out as of 2017\, raises new iss
 ues and opportunities surrounding access\, autonomy\, and experience of ab
 ortion in Canada. The 45th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade in the United State
 s\, and the restrictions on abortion access in the U.S. and globally\, res
 ulting from Donald Trump's presidency also influences our debates\, cultur
 e\, and politics of abortion at this moment. However\, these constraints a
 nd politics are also emerging alongside novel conditions for the global ci
 rculation of information\, knowledge\, and resources through new (and old)
  technologies of the internet (e.g.\, telemedicine)\, media (e.g.\, smartp
 hones)\, and modes of drug delivery (e.g.\, drones). These conditions have
  already and will continue to give rise to new forms of activism\, extra-c
 linical abortion care providers\, and abortion provision in multiple setti
 ngs and contexts. For more on the history of Canadian abortion rights view
  our brief timeline.\n\nThirty years after the legalization of abortion in
  Canada\, how should we reassess what women need from abortion legislation
 \, technology\, care\, access\, and reproductive justice while respecting 
 the specific conditions and contexts within which abortion is sought? What
  kinds of needs are made invisible or neglected by current standards\, and
  what are the creative means\, often born out of necessity\, that women ha
 ve deployed access to abortion for themselves or others?\n\nOct 11: McInty
