I have been writing this opinion piece about grief, motherhood, fertility, queer parenting & finding joy ever since I was diagnosed with cancer last year. What a release to have it in the @globeandmail as I end treatment (hopefully forever). #MothersDay
In light of the harmful actions taken by the @UCalgary & @UAlberta, we demand an immediate academic boycott of the institutions.
We also warn any Canadian universities engaging in similar actions will be included in this boycott call & call for censure.
