 \n\nTo mark the 30th anniversary of the decriminalization of abortion in C
 anada\, this bilingualtwo-day conference organized by theºÚÁϲ»´òìÈInstitute f
 or Gender\, Sexuality and Feminist Studies (IGSF) and the Centre for Resea
 rch on Gender\, Health\, and Medicinewill focus on 'self-management' in or
 der to assess contemporary questions\, research\, and activism around abor
 tion both locally and globally.\n	\n	The very recent legalization of the abo
 rtion pill (mifepristone) in 2016\, with distribution being rolled out as 
 of 2017\, raises new issues and opportunities surrounding access\, autonom
 y\, and experience of abortion in Canada. The 45th anniversary of Roe vs. 
 Wade in the United States\, and the restrictions on abortion access in the
  U.S.\,resulting from Donald Trump's presidencyand global fights\, recentl
 y especially notable in Ireland and Argentina\, also influence ourdebates\
 , culture\, and politics of abortion at this moment.However\, these constr
 aints and politics are also emerging alongside novel conditions for the gl
 obal circulation of information\, knowledge\, and resources through new (a
 nd old) technologies of the internet (e.g.\, telemedicine)\, media (e.g.\,
  smartphones)\, and modes of drug delivery (e.g.\, drones). These conditio
 ns have already and will continue to give rise to new forms of activism\, 
 extra-clinical abortion care providers\, and abortion provision in multipl
 e settings and contexts.For moreon the history of Canadian abortion rights
  view our brieftimeline.Thirty years after the legalizationof abortion in 
 Canada\, how should we reassess what women need from abortion legislation\
 , technology\, care\, access\, and reproductive justice while respecting t
 he specific conditions and contexts within which abortion is sought? What 
 kinds of needs are made invisible or neglected by current standards\, and 
 what are the creative means\, often born out of necessity\, that women hav
 e deployed access to abortion for themselves or others? Organized by Jenni
 fer Fishman\, Kelly Gordon\, Rebekah Lewis and Alanna Thain.\n
