“The Ties that Bind Us: Unraveling Female Beauty Standards.”
Admission is free – no registration is required.
The standards of female beauty have become extreme and artificial. Yet they retain the power to bind both body and spirit, and result in harm ranging from the sexualization of young girls, to eating disorders, to the distortion of authentic sexual relationship. We will examine the historical processes by which these standards have evolved.
Valerie Hiebert teaches in the Sociology Department at Providence University College, specializing in gender, children and violence, and consumer culture and simpler living.
