Office Hours After Dark: Pop Culture and Popcorn episodes

  • The Politics of Beauty

    Dr. Amanda and Dr. Lydia take on Mar-a-Lago face. They discuss why women learn early that appearance is cultural currency, self-objectification, GLP-1s, Botox, makeup as drag, risk and access to modifications, and what it means to look "natural."


    Question(s) of the day: Are decisions about body modification driven more by individual or societal forces? Is anyone actually natural anymore, or is natural just another aesthetic?
