Lesbians and Assisted Conception: Stories about Identity, Reproductive
Health and Technology

Presenter:  Jacquelyne Luce is a Graduate Student Researcher at the BC
Centre of Excellence for Women's Health and is pursuing a Ph.D. in
anthropology at York University.

Lesbians and bisexual women try to get pregnant and have children in many
different ways -- using no-tech or low-tech methods of
insemination at home or in clinics and higher-tech procedures such as
in-vitro fertilization (IVF).  Jacquelyne will present her on-going
fieldwork in BC which involves discussion with lesbians and bisexual women
about their experiences of trying to have a baby.   Recounting stories from
this research, Jacquelyne will discuss lesbians' reproductive health stories
and concepts of identity, lesbian bodies, and safety.

Time:           June 24, 3:30 - 5 pm.

RSVP:           604.875.2484
