Hi Elaine, this is fantastic and a course I am personally interested in but also professionally if you need any help please DM me (I’m a subscriber so you should be able to contact me), I work in IT for the NHS so can help support this project in my spare time.

Oh, thank you so much! I have tried to get tech skills - I’ve had lessons at apple and business gateway and did a whole course designed for the digitally disabled - but I remain baffled. It drives me nuts, I can do the content and should have really good resources for women - but if there’s a way to mess it up or lose it I’ll find it. I know I need an umbrella website, with sections for courses/campaign/comedy/clinic that is simple enough for me to work. As tech has got easier I have got better, I’m a dab hand on canva, can work InShot and am getting to grips with Substack - but I have an unholy mess of files and notes and half done projects. Even a chat about what the best options are would be helpful.

@Elaine Miller - what a great project - if you'd like some pro bono help (or advice) with the digital infrastructure and media design and development (or even more boring stuff like evaluation), please just reach out to patrick.olivier@monash.edu.

You’re at Monash? I did a little paper with Helen Skouteris a few years ago. They are a lovely team, and patient with my “oops, lost the file” nonsense. https://www.monash.edu/news/articles/could-humour-be-the-key-to-a-healthier-society

I know Helen S -- we just submitted a grant proposal together -- I didn't clock that article was you -- it's something sadly lacking in Australia and the UK these days!

Hi Elaine, great video. I did a Public Health BSc just before covid and would love to help out. I follow a lot of feminist health on Insta and various platforms so I'll send your video to them in a message and explain. Who knows one of them might come back to you! More the merrier as you say! I asked our tutors on the course if we would learn about gender based medicine and was told there wasn't enough research into female health to divide it! So there you go (that was 2017).
