Biography
Kathryn Clancy is a professor in the Department of Anthropology. Her work has significant repercussions for the general public and for science: She has testified before Congress, and co-authored a report by the National Academies on sexual harassment of women in STEM fields. She has spoken at conferences both nationally and internationally, led seminars, and offered advice on legal matters regarding sexual harassment in the scientific community. She also co-directs a research that examines how menstrual experiences are under-examined in vaccine studies, especially the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, and how this medical ignorance increases the likelihood of vaccine reluctance and rejection.
