YOUR SCARS AND YOU

Greetings and welcome to Life & Anth with Lily Forrester and a Zoomcatchers production.

Last episode, “Less is More,” Lily discusses changes in women’s fashion over time as well as the changes in the conversation that surrounds it. The episode breaks down various socio-political narratives that are applied to women’s dress and examined the impact it has or doesn't have on the empowerment of women, so be sure to give that a listen.

This episode, Lily looks not at clothing, but at the body itself and the story it inadvertently and inevitably tells.

About the Podcast

Life & Anth

Join Us In Mystifying The Ordinary!

Beyond the rolling, manicured hills of the college campus that boasts graduating two of the three female Secretaries of State in history, lies a town with its namesake. Welcome to wealthy Wellesley, Massachusetts, where tensions between the college and the townies run high. Today, Lily is joined by guests Sophia and Ali, who both attended the College and worked in the town and offer their insight on the causes and manifestation. This episode defines terms such as positionality, emic and etic, and discusses the nature of purity narratives as they are portrayed through this unique relationship.
