Love-Politics
Lesbians have organized and participated in same-sex wedding ceremonies since the 1950s, but never without controversy, and the controversies have been as much among lesbians and gays themselves as between those opposed to homosexuality and those in favor of sexual rights.

Using the Montreal Junior League as a case study I argue that, though run by and for women, Junior Leagues functioned primarily as a means to confer social status and affirm class privilege. …
Strangers in Our Midst
Strangers in Our Midst offers an original critical analysis of the rise of sexological thinking in Canada, and shows how what was conceived as a humane alternative to traditional punishment could be put into practice in inhumane ways
