ABOUT THE EVENT
Join us for an insightful exploration into the complex emotion of shame, a deeply social feeling often viewed through a binary lens of good or bad. While shame can be unpleasant, it's intrinsically tied to empathy and our desire to belong. In this event, we will delve into how shame operates within social dynamics, particularly in relation to the female body. We will discuss the ways in which shame can be both a natural human emotion and a powerful tool of control, impacting self-esteem, self-expression, and societal expectations. This conversation will uncover the nuances of shame, examining its role in our lives and how it can be both a reflection of empathy and, when weaponized, a source of deep harm. Whether you're interested in psychology, social justice, or gender studies, this event promises to provide a thought-provoking perspective on the dual nature of shame.
