On Monday, Oct. 3, Marquette’s Institute for Women’s Leadership released its latest white paper, its first coming from the IWL Faculty Fellows program.
Written and researched by Dr. Marie Hoeger Bement, “Sex Differences in Pain Perception—Why Do Women Experience More Pain Than Men?”, continues to advance research in the area of pain, particularly looking at the difference in individuals’ experiences with pain and how one’s gender can impact both perceptions of pain and effective ways to manage pain.
Resulting from this research paper, IWL is hosting a community event on Thursday, Nov. 3, at 3 p.m. at the AHPRC. The discussion, titled “Women Experience More Pain Than Men — And What to Do About It,” features a panel discussion with interdisciplinary experts on pain and pain management:
- Dr. Marie Hoeger Bement, professor of physical therapy in the College of Health Sciences
- Dr. Sandra Hunter professor of exercise science in the College of Health Sciences
- Dr. Sarah Trost, professor and licensed psychologist at the MCW Pain Management Center
Register online to attend.
