Speaker Profile
鈥淜ate Clancy was a delight to have on campus: she showed great collegiality in all her meetings with students and faculty, and her talk was fantastic: it revealed a depth of research into the cultural history of menstruation. Kate is an engaging speaker; she connected with audience members through her thoughtful responses to their questions.鈥濃�擵anderbilt University

Kate Clancy is a feminist scientist who specialises in how environmental stressors affect menstrual cycles. She is a Professor of Anthropology at the University of Illinois, where her research and policy advocacy work also focus on sexual harassment in science and academia, racial and LGBTQ harassment, and underexplored topics like how vaccine and drug treatment trials ignore the menstrual cycle. She has addressed Congress on the sexual harassment of women in STEM as well as consulted on two bills on sexual harassment in science. Her book The Real Story of Menstruation blends history, personal experience and science to challenge many of the myths and false assumptions that have defined the study of the uterus.
