Additional Information

Chris Bobel is interested, most broadly, in the diverse efforts of actors to effect social change especially around issues that are stigmatized, silenced and marginalized.

After devoting nearly two decades to the field of critical menstruation studies, she is now engaged in an ethnographic project--involving her WGS students--exploring contemporary activism inspired by grief and trauma.

Chris is a member of the editorial boards of the journals Signs and Women’s Reproductive Health.

Chris is often consulted and quoted by the mainstream media about the rapidly burgeoning global menstrual activist movement.
