Project Details
Description
The research project explores how menstruation matters to young girls´ bodily becoming and which (im)possibilities this brings in their everyday lives.
The research is based on 9 months of fieldwork in a youth club and a school and with this outset in ethnographic research and a focus on gender, materiality and affect, the project is situated in the intersection of educational anthropology and feminist materialist gender and girlhood studies. It considers menstruation as relational and as an assemblage of space, time and materialities such as bodies, blood, fluids, pads, toilets and clothes, from where youth with menstrual cycles become through bodily, affective and gendered processes of sameness and difference.
