Chatham University
June 2, 2011 – June 4, 2011
The 19th Biennial Meeting of the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research (SMCR) will be hosted in Pittsburgh's East End at the Woodland Campus of Chatham University, June 2-4. 2011.
This year’s conference theme, Embodied Consciousness, Informed Choices: Critical Perspectives on the Menstrual Cycle, offers a stimulating opportunity to explore a variety of perspectives on the menstrual cycle.
Highlights of the conference include a keynote address by Sharra Vostra, Associate Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies and History at the University of Illinois. Dr. Vostral's area of expertise is the history of technology in relation to gender and women’s bodies and the ways in which material artifacts function in individuals' everyday lives. Her current research centers on the innovation of Rely tampons and the emergence of Toxic Shock Syndrome.
In additon, two plenary panels are scheduled: 1) stigma associated with menstruation, broadly considered, and 2) sustainable menstrual management in both developing and developed countries.
Other conference events include a poster session and welcoming reception early Thursday evening and on Friday night, a banquet (see registration options) and entertainment!
Online registration has been extended til MAY25th. Contact Dr. Peggy Stubbs at mstubbs@chatham.edu with any registration questions.
