We are lucky to have Sean Blenkinsop, Professor at Simon Fraser University, to come to CUHRE in May. Right in the eye in relation to current discussions about how we get eco-social-cultural change and thus a more life-friendly society. Sean will discuss the theses of the text when he arrives with anyone who wants to join. 
Sean is with us for a week, and the core event is: CUHRE spring lecture in the DIAS Auditorium SDU, where EVERYONE is welcome.

DIAS Discussion: Powerful Political Metaphors: How Are They Created?



Introduction: Jeppe Nevers

Lecture: Timo Pankakoski

Commentator: Aglae Pizzone





The event is open for all and takes place in the DIAS seminar room

While the menopause is commonly understood as a ‘hormone deficiency’, numerous studies have shown that the menopause is not solely a biological phenomenon, but is influenced by environmental, social, and cultural factors. Given the variation in menopause experience and its complexity, how to best support women through this transition is a considerable societal challenge. It is our belief that this question can only be tackled through an interdisciplinary approach. The workshop ‘Women in Transition’ seeks to build the groundwork for such interdisciplinary collaboration, drawing insights from the fields of medicine, sociology, communication and literature. The questions driving the workshop is about the role of biological, sociological and cultural factors in the menopausal experience, and how this insight can be used to facilitate the work of medical researchers and practitioners.

The workshop will be structured ‘from the macro to the micro’: from large quantitative population studies, through quantitative/qualitative data gathered in organisations, to individual experiences expressed in literary works. Through this structure, the workshop will focus on the synergies between different disciplinary approaches, identifying the ways in which medical, sociological and humanistic approaches can help overcome some of the challenges of the menopause and shed some light on its complexity.
