Sociology of Fashion

Catalog description

This course explores how clothing, accessories, and bodily adornment are socially constructed processes. We apply a sociological lens to uncover how fashion intersects with: social identities and aspirations; fads and trends; historical forces; how we modify our bodies; production and consumption of clothing and shoes; race, class, and gender; labor and human rights; globalization and trade; technology, and environmental issues in clothing production.
