In this current harsh world, let's warm a few hearts remembering the events of 7-8 March 1991, when the 90,000 people of Brindisi woke up to find 25,000 Albanians roaming the streets of their town. For perspective, that's roughly equivalent to 25k people suddenly landing in Hastings [Thread] >> 1

'Reorganizing Menstruation' (OUP 2024) looks at what happens when longterm, gendered stigma is disrupted, through ethnographic research I did on the introduction of a menstrual workplace policy in Bristol, UK, and the uptake of menstrual cups among undergraduates in Melbourne, Australia.
