Greetings Podcast listeners…I'm your host, Teri Yuan.

You've probably been wondering why the podcast has been on pause for the past several months. Well, rather unexpectedly, I had to deal with some personal stuff and more importantly, members of the Engendered Collective rallied to organize and plan the first International Coercive Control Conference. We will be launching tomorrow this all virtual two-day event that will feature luminaries from around the world, from a variety of sectors ranging from health and medicine, academia, law, advocacy, and government, to name a few. This conference was entirely conceived and executed by our tireless members and our awesome intern, Abbie. There is still time to sign up. If you can't make all the sessions, register anyway and access the recordings later. We will also be publishing the sessions as future podcast episodes. Use the code "PODCAST2021" when you check out to get a 40% discount. In the meantime, we are working with a great intern, Linda, to help us launch our podcast episodes. If there are any listeners out there who want to volunteer to edit the podcast and help us keep to a regular publishing schedule, please reach out to me at [email protected].

Stay tuned for a whole bunch of new episodes and guest hosts interviews coming out soon. In the meantime, see you at the conference!
