Aija Lulle
Aija is the project leader for the project “Menopausing: Exploring diversity, awareness and activism” (2024-2028). Her interest in menopause emerged from years of dedicated research and fieldwork with middle-aged migrants. “I noticed a shift: after ten years of research and more or less regular contact with my key interlocutors, some of them, including men, suddenly began to bring up the topic of menopause in our conversations,” Aija explained. The rest, as they say, is history—two years of passionate research preparations, delving into both historical and contemporary sources, all seeking to explain menopause in often contradictory ways. Today, the future is here, embodied in our exceptional team—truly transdisciplinary, with brave hearts and minds, determined to confront gendered ageism and patriarchy, and to make a meaningful difference in our fractured world.
