Delighted to be back in Nepal for two months to learn Nepali before collecting my PhD data on the causes & consequences of menstrual restrictions - excited to be working with partner organisation, CREHPA, & so grateful to the @swdtp.bsky.social & ESRC for funding my research 🙏🏻

Blog post on our new article now online with Global Public Health - where is menstruation in global health policy and why does this matter? (Also tagging lead author and wonderful PhD researcher @josephinemcall.bsky.social!)

Finally got my hands on a paper copy of my first publication! 🤩 Our chapter explores the causes and consequences of menstrual restrictions, including chhaupadi, in one district of Nepal, highlighting reasons for policy non-compliance. Available online ➡️ www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/1...

Where is menstruation in global health policy? 🤔 Our new paper examines how UN-level global health organisations construct #menstruation as a policy issue, highlighting the need for a collective understanding: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @dr-mel-channon.bsky.social @franamery.bsky.social

And I'm so lucky to have an amazing PhD supervisor! Looking forward to sharing some of our research outputs here soon 👀
