After a bit o’ drama (package sent by courier, courier stuffs up delivery, delivery rescheduled for after departure from Oz), I got the final galleys on an upcoming journal article, to be published in the Canadian Bulleting of Medical History/bulletin canadien de l’histoire de la médecine. It combines queer issues, activism, health, social justice, discourse and Foucault. How hawt izzat?

Abstract: The is paper examines how a groupd of grassroots activists successfully lobbied for the creation of a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons’ population helath advisory committee in Vancouver-Richmond British Columbia. It documents how committee members balanbed the at times conflicting interests of an institutional structure (the public health system) with those of communities historically marginal to such institutions. the specific achievements and challenges of the committee and its members during its four-year life span, 1997-2001, are discussed, including their ramifications in other contexts.

Résumé: Cet article examine comment un groupe d’activistes est parvenu par ses pressions, à créer un comité aviseur sur la santé des personnes lesbiennes, gaies, bisexuelles et transexuelles à Vancouver-Richmond Colombie Britannique. Il décrit comment les membres du comité étaient divisés entre les intérets d’une structure insitutionelle (le système de santé publique) et ceux de leur communautés, historiquement marginalisées par les institutions. Les accomplissements spécifiques et les défis du comité et de ses membres durant sa période de quatre ans, soit entre 1997 et 2001, sont discutés, incluant leur ramification dans d’autres contextes.

Pretty frickin’ kewl. And I’m pretty sure [livejournal.com profile] badfaggot has an article in the same edition....
