I am the keynote speaker at this year’s  Joanne B. Eicher Symposium on Fashion, Sex & Power — Friday, September 11, 2015 at the University of Minnesota (College of Design). The symposium will address questions such as: What are the relationships between power, sex, and fashion across centuries and cultures? How does power in the 21st century relate to sex and fashion? How are men’s roles changing and what affect does it have on their power and masculinity? What impact does role-playing have on young girls and boys? How have these changing roles been portrayed in the media? Presenters from South Africa, Nigeria, Italy, UK, Turkey, India, Korea, China, the US, and Canada will explore these topics and more through forty papers plus two free public lectures.
