I received this from Association for Research on Mothering at York
University in Toronto Canada. It sounds like they are looking for a
variety of presenters. It's a wonderful opportunity for people from
the breastfeeding community to reach a community they might not
otherwise reach. They are looking for speakers and presentations of
all types, not just academic or research talks.
