Women and Gender in Global Perspectives Program (WGGP)

Join the WRC and WGGP as we discuss ""Period: The Real Story of Menstruation" by UIUC Professor Kate Clancy! We'll be exploring issues surrounding menstruation, from bodily autonomy, menstrual hygiene, and the COVID-19 vaccine to the ways racism, sexism, and medical betrayal warp public perceptions of menstruation and erase it from public life. 

On October 13, Dr. Kate Clancy will discuss the book at the WRC at 3:30 pm. Limited copies of the book are available on a first come, first serve basis by request. Additional copies will be made available for purchase at a discount.

This event is being held in recognition of Period Action Day on October 14.
