User:Drkirstyross/List of Critical Menstruation Research topics
Appearance
Critical Menstrual Studies is an interdisciplinary field of research that investigates all aspects of menstruation and the menstrual cycle. It was defined in 2020 by the publication of the academic interdisciplinary book The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Menstruation Studies[1].
Despite its new classification, Critical Menstrual Studies acknowledges its heritage in academic research from the US-based Society for Menstrual Cycle Research, and several other menstrual research centres that have emerged since the 1960s.
