Seeking Stories of Professionals Experiencing Unfair Treatment Due to Their Work with MAPs

Posted on

B4U-ACT is collecting stories of scholars and helping professionals who have been censured for, or otherwise discouraged from, acting or speaking in defense of the humanity, dignity, or civil/human rights of minor-attracted persons (MAPs). If you have had a relevant experience or have felt that the current academic/professional environment has a chilling effect on your ability to act ethically or to speak up on this topic, we would like to hear about it. Your story can be as anonymous or public as you like.

If you are willing to help, please go to b4uact.org/injustice-profs/ for more information and to submit a description of your experience. Please forward this message to other professionals you feel might be able to assist in this endeavor, or post on professional email listservs if appropriate.

MAPs Wanted for Study on Sexual Attractions over Time

Posted on

B4U-ACT is supporting a new study led by Lucas Walters, a PhD student at the University of Ottawa, as part of his doctoral research on sexual attractions. This study aims to understand how sexual attraction may change over time, and with life events.

The study is a three part longitudinal study. Participating involves taking a 15-minute survey, followed by additional 15-minute surveys 6 and 12 months later. The researchers will send the second and third survey links to an email address provided by the participant, which can be accessed for 48 hours after receiving the reminder email. Data from survey responses will be stored securely, and will not be associated with the email address provided. It is also possible to use an anonymous email address from a secure provider (such as Proton Mail or Skiff).

Eligible participants are age 16 or over (18 or over if living in Quebec, Canada), and proficient in English. People who fit this description are invited to participate using the link below:
