What can The Pill Expo mean for educators? First of all, most of the pictures featured in The Pill Expo are not copyright protected for educational purposes. Below each image the applied creative commons license is mentioned and linked. Not only do we show incredibly interesting, and thought provoking images related to the history of birth control, our exhibition also forms an excellent starting point for discussions on contraception. It provides information on various historical and contemporary aspects of the story of the pill based on academic research. Thanks to our open source approach, all the publications and websites used to create this project are linked or mentioned below the texts. By creating an open source, academic exhibition, we hope to contribute to the continuation of educating others about contraception, regardless of gender or sexuality.
