Who gets to decide what is considered beautiful? As beauty and conformity morph into one, it can be tempting to try to force our bodies into shapes they were never designed to fit. Today, authors Jill Burke (How to Be a Renaissance Woman), Emma Dabiri (Disobedient Bodies), and Moshtari Hilal (Ugliness) deconstruct harmful beauty standards and explore how we can reclaim and celebrate our gloriously rebellious forms. Chaired by Anahit Behrooz.
