Menstrual health as a public concern in Ghana: A conceptual review of symbolic and structural ownership
Tomsk State University Journal of Philosophy, Sociology and Political Science. 2026. Vol. 90. P. 204–211.
Helen Selorm Wohoyie, Anikin V. A.
Menstrual health serves as a critical litmus test for state intervention in contexts where women’s bodily experiences are historically shaped by stigma, cultural taboos, and structural violence. Drawing on Joseph Gusfield’s theory of social problems, this review traces the moral passage of menstruation in Ghana (1992–2025) from a privately managed, stigmatized phenomenon to a matter of public responsibility.

Agglomeration policy has long been a dominant paradigm in spatial development, premised on the assumption that large, integrated city-regions drive national economic growth through productivity, innovation, and global integration. This paper examines how this paradigm is reworked under conditions of polycrisis, a durable state in which economic, geopolitical, and institutional shocks interact and reinforce one ...

While gender disparities in STEM are well-documented, comparatively little attention has been given to the micro-level interactional processes through which gender inequalities are reproduced, negotiated, and occasionally challenged, particularly in non-Western educational settings.

Со времен обретения странами Африки независимости проблема сецессии остается для них в ряду наиболее острых. Оставшиеся после ухода колонизаторов государственные границы во многом оказались искусственными, что впоследствии превратило Африку в один из самых нестабильных континентов. Обретение государственного суверенитета поначалу подталкивало африканцев к обсуждению вопроса о пересмотре границ, однако опасения по поводу еще большего нагнетания межгосударственных ...
