The work aims to break down taboos
Monique Mauel's master's thesis, “Keep Calm and Keep Bleeding: Twenty-First Century Representations of Menstruation on Screen,” demonstrates that graduates of the University of Bonn can achieve remarkable things through hard work and dedication even while still studying, explains Prof. Dr. Birgit Münch, Vice Rector for International Affairs. According to the US Embassy, the award recognizes, as in the case of Leonhard Flemisch, the “best, most original, and most compelling transdisciplinary master's thesis” that was nominated.
