I research discourses about menstruation and am especially interested in how menstruators\u2019 subjectivities are negotiated between their capacity as regulated spaces and their capacity to weaponize their bodies for resistive purposes. I\u2019m currently working on my dissertation: a rhetorical history of menstrual containment. In this project, I interpret menstrual containment strategies\u2014from their medical inception in the 1880s to the women\u2019s health movement of the 1970s and 1980s\u2014tracing how these strategies were gendered and raced within the national body. This project builds on ideas about rhetorical containment, illustrating how \u201cthreatening\u201d bodies become containers, how containment is resisted, and how containment may be used for resistance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Berkley Conner University of Iowa Description of Work: My name is Berkley Conner and I\u2019m a graduate student at the University of Iowa.
