I have a paper in this co-authored by the excellent Ned Coleman-Fountain, David Abbott & Alex Toft. It’s a piece of work I’m really proud of. It gets at some nuanced complexities of gender &sexuality in PA. Great to see it out with all its paper pals in this special issue. Excited to read the others
