  • Registration now open for the SRC's CAHR Ancillary Events

    If you are attending April’s CAHR Conference in Vancouver, the SRC is excited to invite you to participate in our two ancillary sessions being held on Thursday April 11th at the Westin Bayshore hotel. The first session(9:00am), with the Male Call Canada project, will bring together a panel of guest discussants to contextualize the results and findings of this national survey on men who have sex with men. The survey set out to document the changing lives and attitudes of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. Event Details

     

    Our second session (1:00pm), is part of our social drivers speaker series. This year we are featuring Kane Race, Chair of the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies at theUniversity of Sydney. According to Dr Kane, recent formulations of biomedical prevention science are conspicuous in their avoidance of the topic of sexual practice. Dr Kane will reflect on the situation by considering gay men’s engagements with Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PREP). Event Details
