The Association for Research on Mothering (ARM), based at Canada’s York University is being forced to close due to the University removing their base funding. ARM is the leading association and publication on motherhood worldwide and is an important organisation in Women’s Studies scholarship more generally.
We all need to try and save ARM and here is how:
1) Write a letter, however brief, to York officials – President and Vice Chancellor, Mamdouh Shoukri,
mshoukri@yorku.ca. (In 48 hours ARM has received close to 300 emails).2) Distribute this message on, and join the “Fan of ARM Facebook Page”
3) Please purchase a Demeter Press title from ARM/Demeter Press page with a
cheque payable to Demeter Press. Or make a donation to Demeter Press. (They have some seriously amazing motherhood titles! Including Disability and Mothering, Poetry on Mothers, Adoption and Mothering, and Rocking the Cradle: Thoughts on Motherhood, Feminism and the Possibility of Empowered Mothering)
