Podcast of Talks on Eugenic Sterilization in Alberta
Podcasts are available of nearly all of the talks that were given in a public conference held at the University of Alberta in Edmonton last year, "Eugenics and Sterilization in Alberta: 35 Years Later". Eugenic sterilization was practiced in Alberta until 1972, when a new provincial government repealed the Sexual Sterilization Act of Alberta. The conference was public not only in the sense that it was "open to the public" but in that it strove to include the voices of community members who were affected by the long history of eugenic sterilization in the province of Alberta.
