LAS 287 - Dressing the Part



The way people dress is a meaningful reflection of culture, diversity, and community. We will explore ways that people from different cultures represent themselves through the way they dress for their roles in diverse societies. How do different nationalities, ethnic groups, and communities define and represent themselves through dress? How does culture shape individual and socially defined choices in dress? Students will strive to understand diverse cultures and communities through projects based in hands-on investigation of dress from different cultures and interpretation through reading, film, and discussion. (3 hours)

This course will satisfy the multicultural core requirement.
