Sex Education International Journal Honors Dr. Douglas Kirby with Special Issue
The international peer-reviewed journal Sex Education recently announced a call for papers for a special issue in memory of the late Dr. Douglas Kirby of ETR Associates and his legacy. In announcing the call for papers, the journal stated: "Doug was a pioneer in the field of sex education, both in the United States and internationally, identifying the key features of good quality, effective education and raising important questions about the limitations of other approaches. He died unexpectedly on December 22, 2012, while mountain climbing in Quito, Ecuador. He is sadly missed by all who worked with him or knew his work, but leaves the field of sex education a richer place as the result of his enthusiasm, dedication and scholarship."
