Du er også meget velkommen til at dele denne mit opslag og har du et særligt netværk eller sted i tankerne, hvor jeg må dele min spørgeskemaundersøgelse, hører jeg også gerne fra dig og laver et opslag hertil.

[Signe Banke @SigneBanke]

Hvad brugte du sidst du havde menstruation?

Bind? Tamponer? Menstruationskop? Menstruationstrusser? Noget femte? Det håber jeg at du vil svare på i mit spørgeskema https://t.co/WYa0LgKIUV som undersøger hvilke menstruationsprodukter folk bruger i dag 🩸

Tour de toilet på @SyddanskUni med tapedispenseren under armen i anledning af at jeg søger folk, som vil dele et billede af deres menstruationsblod med mig🩸

Just got the keys for my office for the next two weeks here @LiuTema at Linköping University, where I am excited to share my research with the Tema Genus group and to continue the more-than-human discussions Ericka Johnson and I started last Monday. 🩸

[Signe Banke @SigneBanke]

One week since my mid-term evaluation🩸A huge thanks to Ericka Johnson and Julie Emontspool for assessing my thesis in becoming. I am left smiling, encouraged and with a clear sense of what is next for me - don’t think you can ask for more of a seminar🔥

Final day of #SMCR23 and I’m knitting away! Got inspired by talks by my Nordic colleagues @CRostvik and Matleena Frisk to knit a pad along lines of how Norwegians and Finns did it historically. @MenstruationOrg

[Signe Banke @SigneBanke]

The @MenstruationOrg #SMCR23 red moon HOWL! 🔥🫶🏻

[SMCR: Society for Menstrual Cycle Research @MenstruationOrg]

The energy in the room for the Red Moon Howl is incredible 🐺🩸 #SMCR23

[Signe Banke @SigneBanke]

Amazing ‘Drawing blood’ workshop this afternoon at #SMCR23 with @MenstruationOrg 🩸
I’m reading-writing about new materialist methods these days, appreciating the synergy between this advertisement-art-exercise and @rcecoleman work on worlding with glitter ✨

[Signe Banke @SigneBanke]

It was great to share my material perspectives on menstruation with the @MenstruationOrg today at #SMCR23 🔥 and not least to dig into my ethnographic material and show how menstrual materialities form new grounds for understanding periods and bodies 🩸
@dbm_samf @CCCsdu

[Dr Jane Ussher @JaneUssher]

@SigneBanke gave a great talk on menstrual materialities at #SMCR23 @MenstruationOrg How we collect blood impacts on or subjective experience of menstruation. Great use of theory in an accessible manner

[Signe Banke @SigneBanke]

@JaneUssher @MenstruationOrg Thank you @JaneUssher !

[Dr Jane Ussher @JaneUssher]

Great talk by Mia Sondergaard on talking about gynaecological issues in the consulting room - doing a good physical examination is as important as talking about intimate matters #SMCR23 @MenstruationOrg

[Signe Banke @SigneBanke]

This pack of tissues by @periodsupplies reminds me of the @uk_unsanitary campaign some years back, beautifully reminding us how not having a period product is also material.
#SMCR2023 @MenstruationOrg

[Signe Banke @SigneBanke]

Talking about the (vibrant) materiality of menstrual products, we must not forget what the materiality of not having a product at hand looks and feels like, sticking toilet paper (many do so!) or as @uk_unsanitary points to - newspaper in your underwear. Unpleasantly vibrant.

[Signe Banke @SigneBanke]

I call it ‘confessional’ effects because I experience how a special space emerges when I present my area of research. Any @MenstruationOrg people experiencing this too, and who perhaps have done research into this?
@SharraVostral @CRostvik @MsMenstruation

[Signe Banke @SigneBanke]

A @MenstruationOrg highlight to me was (no surprise) the material culture panel @MenstruationOrg with Harry Finley, @CRostvik @SharraVostral & @MsMenstruation 🩸
Here, Finley notes the ‘confessional’ effects of the Museum of Menstruation on visitors, saying it was the best thing.

[Signe Banke @SigneBanke]

Excited for the second day of the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research conference here in Washington DC area🩸
I’ll present my paper on menstrual materialities with empirical examples from my ethnographic fieldwork tomorrow
@MenstruationOrg #SMCR2023 #menstruationmatters

[Signe Banke @SigneBanke]

Never not documenting period product aisles🛒
While the selection in this smaller supermarket next to #nordicsts2023 isn’t overwhelming the placement is a first: right above the cat food and next to the party supplies 🎉 Not sure what that says about period products as a category

[Signe Banke @SigneBanke]

My paper is part of the panel on ‘Technoscientific entanglements of reproduction’ with @MsMenstruation and @CleeveHelena tomorrow Wednesday #nordicsts2023, parallel session 2 at 14:00. So if you’re in the market for some🩸new materialist methods please join us!
My abstract 👇🏻

[Signe Banke @SigneBanke]

A little ironing before #nordicsts2023
I’ll be handing out ‘bloody’ sensing bags at my talk, discussing posthuman methods and what possibilities of access may arise from treating materials as research companions 🩸
