Bethany is an MA student at the University of Saskatchewan. She completed her BA Honours (2022) at Crandall University. Her BA research focused on the interconnection between maternal feminism and the eugenics movement through the lens of Emily Murphy's life and activism. Her Master's thesis engages with ideas of mental hygiene and family values to consider big contests in the public sphere regarding who held authority. By examining the sermons, speeches, and writings of religious leaders, religious people, and feminists, she explores how pastors tackled issues of hygiene, how those discussions moved into the public sphere, and how women themselves entered that space and discussion.
