Her interest in menopause emerged from years of dedicated research and fieldwork with middle-aged migrants. \u201cI 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,\u201d Aija explained. The rest, as they say, is history\u2014two 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\u2014truly transdisciplinary, with brave hearts and minds, determined to confront gendered ageism and patriarchy, and to make a meaningful difference in our fractured world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact: aija.lulle[at]uef.fi<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"links-block\">\n\n    \n    <ul class=\"link-list\">\n        \n            \n            <li class=\"link-list-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/uefconnect.uef.fi\/en\/aija.lulle\/\" class=\"link-reset link hover-scale-down\">\n                    <svg\n        width=\"43\" height=\"25\"\n        viewBox=\"0 0 43 25\"\n        xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n    <path\n        d=\"M30.027 0 43 12.5 30.027 25 27 22.083 34.351 15H0v-5h34.351L27 2.917z\"\n        fill=\"currentColor\"\n        fill-rule=\"evenodd\"\/>\n<\/svg>                    <div>UEF Connect &#8211; Aija Lulle<\/div>\n                <\/a>\n                <div class=\"link-info\">\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n\n        \n            <li class=\"link-list-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/fi.linkedin.com\/in\/aija-lulle-2a600021\" class=\"link-reset link hover-scale-down\">\n                    <svg\n        width=\"43\" height=\"25\"\n        viewBox=\"0 0 43 25\"\n        xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n    <path\n        d=\"M30.027 0 43 12.5 30.027 25 27 22.083 34.351 15H0v-5h34.351L27 2.917z\"\n        fill=\"currentColor\"\n        fill-rule=\"evenodd\"\/>\n<\/svg>                    <div>LinkedIn<\/div>\n                <\/a>\n                <div class=\"link-info\">\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n\n        \n            <li class=\"link-list-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5386-9493\" class=\"link-reset link hover-scale-down\">\n                    <svg\n        width=\"43\" height=\"25\"\n        viewBox=\"0 0 43 25\"\n        xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n    <path\n        d=\"M30.027 0 43 12.5 30.027 25 27 22.083 34.351 15H0v-5h34.351L27 2.917z\"\n        fill=\"currentColor\"\n        fill-rule=\"evenodd\"\/>\n<\/svg>                    <div>ORCID<\/div>\n                <\/a>\n                <div class=\"link-info\">\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n\n        \n            <li class=\"link-list-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:twdfwjlhtlts6ksrcmkkfuh4\" class=\"link-reset link hover-scale-down\">\n                    <svg\n        width=\"43\" height=\"25\"\n        viewBox=\"0 0 43 25\"\n        xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n    <path\n        d=\"M30.027 0 43 12.5 30.027 25 27 22.083 34.351 15H0v-5h34.351L27 2.917z\"\n        fill=\"currentColor\"\n        fill-rule=\"evenodd\"\/>\n<\/svg>                    <div>Bluesky<\/div>\n                <\/a>\n                <div class=\"link-info\">\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n\n                <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aija&#8217;s selected publications<\/h2>\n\n\n\t<div id=\"accordion-block_dc04d584b3965cd19f99514172dc0718\" class=\"accordions\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion accordion-js\">\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"accordion__button\" aria-controls=\"content-2900\" aria-expanded=\"false\" id=\"accordion-control-2900\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"accordion__heading\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLukinmaa, P.; Ott, M.; &amp; Lulle, A.
