Menopause and the workplace

The Open University

Your invitation to Professor Jo Brewis' inaugural lecture:  
<H2>Menopause and the workplace</H2>
As The Open University celebrates its 50th anniversary Jo Brewis, Professor of People and Organisations in The Faculty of Business and Law will examine the effects of menopause and call for employers to pay careful attention to it. It is very apt for her to deliver her inaugural lecture in the week of International Women’s Day on menopause, a topic that is often regarded as taboo in wider society and in the workplace in particular.
Profile:
Professor Brewis joined The Open University in April 2018 in the Department of People and Organizations in the Business School.  She has worked previously at the Universities of Portsmouth, Essex and Leicester. Throughout her academic career, Professor Brewis has been fascinated by the connections between gender, the body, sexuality, emotions, identity, organizing and organizations. These interests come together in her ongoing research on menopause and the workplace.
