Jiggle: (Re)Shaping American Women

March 13, 2008 - Thursday
  • Wendy A. Burns-Ardolino - PhD, writer, professor, Clayton State University
Wendy A. Burns-Ardolino discusses her book, which spans the fields of women's studies, cultural studies, and media studies as it examines the significance of women's embodied experience with the most intimate feminine foundation garments. Feminist theory of the body, the cultural production and consumption of fashion and beauty cultures, femininity and female subjectivity are woven together to tell the story of how women are shaped physically, culturally, socially and politically by shaping garments. Dr. Burns-Ardolino is assistant professor and coordinator of integrative studies at Clayton State University, where she teaches women's studies and media studies.
