Perimenopause and Menopause

This episode is a long time coming for us. We're tackling perimenopause and menopause. On this episode we talk about the reality of going through perimenopause and menopause in the context of capitalism, a culture of celebrity, the continual erosion of robust public healthcare and medical racism.

We talk to Dr. Robin Turner, Associate Professor of Political Science at Butler University and Academic Aunties producer, Dr. Nisha Nath, Associate Professor of Equity Studies at Athabasca University.
