Members of Reproductive Justice New Brunswick will be pivotal in a new community-engaged research project that was recently approved in August 2021. The project will analyze barriers to abortion access in the province, as well as the impacts and experiences of that lack of access. The research team, which will be co-led by Tobin Haley, an assistant professor at Ryerson University and Jula Hughes, adjunct professor at UNB and dean of law at Lakehead University, will include long-standing RJNB members Karen Pearlston, professor of law at UNB; Jessica Taylor, the incoming Purdy Crawford/Stephen Jarislowsky Post Doctoral Fellow in Health Policy at UNB; and Julia Hansen, a community-based activist and nurse.
