Alison Armstrong Re-Envisaging Erikson: Deconstructing Adoption Through the Case of Claire ABSTRACT This theoretical study explored the social construction of adoption present within North American discourse and how this has impacted subsequent theoretical understandings of adoptee development. This was done with a particular emphasis on Eriksonian theories of adoptee development. This study utilized a cultural artifact, namely the character of Claire in Tim Kring’s (2006) television show, Heroes. Claire’s case is then used to compare current uses of Eriksonian theories of psychosocial ego development with possible, more comprehensive iterations of Erikson’s theory. The impact and relevance to social work theory, research and practice are discussed.

This paper presents a review on the topic of diversity in the context of the aging populations in Brazil and Canada. The diversity of the aging population in both countries is discussed in terms of gender, ethnicity, age groups and living conditions while considering the impact on the health care systems. Understanding and reflecting on the Brazilian and Canadian realities reinforces the need for respecting these diversities when developing and implementing local health policies and interventions. There are some similarities regarding gender, but marked differences in immigration patterns, education and living arrangements.

  • September 2002
    LESBIAN MOTHERS ASSOCIATION (514) 846-1543 www.aml-lma.org [email protected] VOLUME IV No. I NEWSLETTER SEPTEMBER 2002 So, What’s the Scoop? By Mona Greenbaum, LMA coordinator This year has been a really remarkable year for lesbian mothers. The landscape for our families has changed so much since the group began in 1998. The civil union bill (Bill 84), which passed unanimously last June in the Quebec National Assembly, has given parents and children in lesbian-headed families full and equal rights. We also have finally gained access to a fertility clinic: The Montreal Fertility Center (514-369-6116). Procréa Montreal will probably also provide access in the months to come, which will mean that the Quebec City branch of Procréa will provide access to lesbians that live in the capital. Forming our families has become so much less complicated. The huge amount of media attention that focused on our families has had many important effects. Most Quebec citizens now know that lesbians have kids, that our families exist and for those who have followed the debate it has become increasingly clear that a whole body of scientific research is already in place, in fact has been accumulating for the past 20 years, supporting what we already knew: our children are fine…they are no more likely than the children of heterosexuals to suffer from psychological, emotional or sexual and gender identity problems. This positive sensitization can only be helpful. Another positive effect that we have noted in the past year is that lesbians have come back into the forefront of social involvement.

  • Homosexuality and Prostitution: a Tale of Two Deviancies Ummni Khan
    Homosexuality and prostitution: A tale of two deviancies Ummni Khan University of Toronto Law Journal, Volume 70, Number 3, Summer 2020, pp. 283-305 (Article) Published by University of Toronto Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/760438 [ Access provided at 31 Dec 2020 13:39 GMT from University of Ottawa ] Ummni Khan* HOMOSEXUALITY AND PROSTITUTION: A TALE OF TWO DEVIANCIES† Historically, homosexuality and prostitution were both branded immoral vices that required crim- inalization, despite the fact that they were also considered ‘victimless crimes.’ Yet, in contemporary Canadian society, gays and lesbians have gained wide social acceptance and legal rights, while the sex trade has become more criminalized, stigmatized, and, for clients or third parties, vilified. This article explores the reasons for this divergence. First, drawing on radical queer critique, I problematize this framing, arguing that the equality and rights-based victories for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans community did not necessarily benefit all of its members. Building on this insight, I argue that those queers who are unable or uninterested in accessing the benefits ushered in by ‘gay rights’ have identities, proclivities, and vulnerabilities that overlap with those of sex workers and/or their clients. Part I of the article sets the socio-legal and political context, providing succinct overviews of key developments relating to gay and lesbian rights and of key developments relating to sex trade regulation, focusing primarily on the last fifty years. Part II analyses how 10.3138/utlj.2019-0082 gay/lesbian mainstream acceptance and the queer/sex trade marginalization occurred through e20190082 overlapping discourses and laws related to privacy, bawdy houses/indecency, disease, spousal/ 70 marital relations, and children.
