New Perspectives on the Menopause

Bush House, King’s College London

Saturday 15th June, 2024

King’s College London is pleased to host a one-day interdisciplinary conference on ‘New Perspectives on the Menopause’. The conference will take place on Saturday 15 June 2024, from 9.45-18.00 in Bush House, Aldwych, London. Attendance at the conference is free of charge.

The aim of the conference is to bring together speakers and attendees from a range of disciplines, backgrounds and geographies in order to discuss recent developments in researching and understanding the menopause in diverse contexts, whether professional, medical, historical, cross-cultural or personal.

The conference will have four non-parallel panels that will broadly focus on the following areas: the experience of the menopause in different cultures and contexts; mediatic representations of the menopause; menopause in the workplace, including the plenary by Professor Kathleen Riach; and biocultural and historical discourses on the menopause.

Details of the full programme can be found below. For all further enquiries please contact Siobhán McIlvanney (siobhan.mcilvanney@kcl.ac.uk) or Felicity Moffat (felicity.moffat@kcl.ac.uk).
