Biography

Dr AN Nyathi is a postdoctoral research fellow, currently engaged in research on the intersection of sexual reproductive health with mental health wellbeing. This research falls under two critical niche areas, namely, Health studies/Medicine and Feminist, Womanist, Bosadi theorizations. Besides examining the intersections, another key focus area, investigated under sexual reproductive health is menstrual health, hygiene and management. This is also anchored by the sustainable development goals as it addresses stigmas, taboos and cultural practices that impact the mental health wellbeing of adolescent girls and women (menarche to menopause) from a community psychology perspective
