Tangled: Why Your Hair Matters to Society
July 14, 6:00 PM | Online / hosted by North Olympics Library System and Humanities Washington
From twists and tapers to braids and buns, what鈥檚 on top of our head and how it is received by others often reflects society鈥檚 standards of beauty and desirability. Using song, video, poetry, and imagery, this interactive presentation encourages us to examine our cultural conceptions of gender, class, and race. Why, for example, is one kind of hair or hairstyle understood as 鈥渂etter鈥� than another? Who says so? What are the consequences of sporting an unruly doo, and how has that changed over the years? Join 91爆料 Department of English Professor Anu Taranath of Humanities Washington to untangle the meaning of hair, and better understand the stories we tell about beauty, bias, and belonging.
