Lecture: Period tracking

At the interface of technologies, female reproductive health and cultural norms of body & gender

For this talk we will have a closer look at the usage of period tracking and its implications on socio-cultural concepts of female reproductive health. By sharing some insights of qualitative research that I conducted with users of the period tracking app 'Clue', I will discuss two theses: Selftracking cultures inherit from neoliberal societal models, and period tracking apps break taboos around menstruation and fill the gap of poor sex and health education. Instead of presenting final results, I want to contribute to a critical discussion of a digital self & health care.
