The Billings Ovulation Method and Catholic Women’s Health Activism in 1970s and 1980s Ireland
This article explores the history of the Billings Method, a form of ‘natural’ family planning, in Ireland from its initial popularisation in the 1970s to the beginning of its decline in the late 1980s. Drawing on oral history interviews with women who taught the method in Ireland in this period, as well as previously unexplored archival sources, the article seeks to nuance understandings of conservative women’s activism in this period. It argues …

The Ifpa youth group, the Adolescent Confidential Telephone Service and Sexual Health Activism in Ireland, c . 1984–90
In October 1984 the Irish Family Planning Association (IFPA) established a youth group of volunteers aged 16-20. One of the group’s main initiatives was a sexual health phoneline for young people called the Adolescent Confidential Telephone Service (ACTS). Using oral history interviews and archival sources such as the ACTS logbook, this article explores the motivations of the young activists involved in the ACTS and what the operation of and resp…
Efectos de una formación en inclusión sobre la autoeficacia del profesorado de Educación Física (Effects of an inclusive Physical Education workshop on teachers' self- efficacy)

Please help me, I am so miserable!’
In 1984, the Irish Family Planning Association (IFPA) established a youth group comprised of young volunteers aged between 16 years and 20 years. The IFPA was responding to a perceived need for sexual health advice for young people in the absence of any formal sex education in Irish schools. The group established a telephone helpline and, from late 1987, was commissioned to provide advice columns for two Irish magazines for young people called Ho…

Anti‐abortion Activism in Poland and the Republic of Ireland c .1970s–1990s
This comparative article explores anti‐abortion activism in Poland and Ireland from the period of the 1970s to the early 1990s. Drawing on a range of archival and printed sources, it sheds light on the Polish and Irish anti‐abortion movements as a part of transnational anti‐abortion efforts and underscores the importance of studying such phenomena transnationally, in a comparative perspective. We argue that despite political, social, and legislat…
I'm Black, I'm Strong, and I Need Help”
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious threat to the lives of Black women in the United States. Research has shown that Black women report more serious injuries and mental health consequences, are less likely to report IPV, and receive fewer services related to IPV victimization than White women do. This article proposes the new concept of toxic Black femininity, which refers to the constant attempts for Black women to uphold a stereotype o…

Migration and Medical Education
Irish-born individuals made up a small but important proportion of the medical students attending the University of Glasgow's medical school in the second half of the nineteenth century. They in turn constituted a key part of the largely ignored middle-class Irish migration to Victorian Britain. This paper examines the origins, experiences and later careers of these individuals in Glasgow and beyond. It argues that they came to Glasgow for econom…

Trafficking Materials and Gendered Experimental Practices
Trade Secrets
Human trafficking is an old, but increasingly complex, phenomenon. In an age of globalization and transnationalism, demand for cheap labour and services fuels a trade deeply rooted in different cultural and historical contexts. Human traffickers share those roots with their respective diasporas the world over. This paper examines the case for an empirical investigation, and gender-sensitive analysis, of the connections between crime networks enga…
Research Note
This paper is an overview of the work and perspective of the Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit at the University of North London between 1987 and 1997. It has involved much summarizing and selection, and inevitably means some areas have been neglected, others emphasised. Rather than offer a bland outline of the work we have done, we have chosen to use this opportunity to reflect on and analyse the contribution of CWASU to feminist approaches to …
The Abduction of Credibility
This response takes issue with John Paley's paper ‘Satanist Abuse and Alien Abduction’ (this issue) in a number of areas: his definition of Satanic ritual abuse (SRA); the parallels he draws between SRA and alien abduction; his assertions that there is no evidence of SRA and that accounts of SRA can be viewed as urban legends; and his ‘temporal lobe connection’ conclusion
