Ironic Interventions: CUSO Volunteers in India's Family Planning Campaign, 1960s-1970s
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Le Service universitaire canadien outre-mer (SUCO), un organisme non gouvernemental créé en 1961, envoyait des jeunes bénévoles en affectation dans les pays en développement. Parmi eux se trouvait un groupe atypique de bénévoles composé principalement d'infirmières qui participaient à des projets de planification familiale en Inde. Bien que SUCO fusse une ONG laïque, la majorité de ses bénévoles travaillaient en Inde pour un organisme médical indien de foi chrétienne qui avait été fondé par des missionnaires à la fin de l'époque coloniale. Même si les infirmières n'avaient pas reçu de formation professionnelle en contrô le des naissances, qui est demeurée illégale au Canada jusqu'en 1969, d'autres volets de leurs antécédents leur permettaient de faire des contributions appréciées. Ce sont tout de même elles qui, de leur propre aveu, ont bénéficié le plus de leur expérience bénévole, qui a servi de tremplin pour la réalisation d'études supérieures et de carrières enrichissantes autant outre-mer qu'au Canada.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
