Each of the participants is a contributor to The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Menstruation Studies.

This is the first in a series of free SMCR webinars in 2021 which will take the place of our biennial
conference, which has been postponed due to Covid-19. Join us to hear about cutting edge theory, research and activism in the field of menstruation studies, and to take part in the discussion.

There will be an opportunity for informal networking with SMCR members and other participants after the webinar.
