Virtual Book Launch - The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Menstruation Studies

Join the Menstrual Health and Gender Justice working group in celebrating the launch of The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Menstruation Studies!

The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Menstruation Studies invites the reader to explore menstruation from nearly every possible angle, including dimensions that you might not yet have considered: the historical, political, embodied, cultural, religious, social, health, economic, artistic, literary and many more. With 72 chapters on more than 1000 pages, the Handbook–the first of its kind–establishes Critical Menstruation Studies as a rich field of research.

The editors, Chris Bobel, Inga Winkler, Breanne Fahs, Katie Ann Hasson, Elizabeth Arveda Kissling, and Tomi-Ann Roberts together bring almost a century of expertise in studying menstruation. Over the last three years, they have sought out 134 contributors in more than 30 countries to address a wide range of menstrual matters in the Handbook.

During the launch, the editors will provide a brief introduction and a few contributors will share key messages from their respective chapters. The event will end with a Q&A at which point audience members will be invited to submit questions for specific contributors and editors.
