AAAS 69 The Politics of Beauty and the Black Female Body
Feminine attractiveness is racialized in societies across the globe. This course examines the politics of beauty and its ramifications in the lives of B/black women and those identified as such in the U.S. and beyond. Drawing from scholarly and popular reading and visual material, and framed by feminist thought, the course will explore the historical and contemporary relevance of this diasporic issue. Students will interrogate beauty politics at the level of theory and lived experience.
