The Promise of Beauty

Mimi Thi Nguyen, Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies

The Promise of Beauty explores the relationship between the concept of beauty and narratives of crisis and catastrophe. Drawing widely from aesthetic and critical theories, Nguyen outlines how beauty—or its lack—points to the conditions that must exist for it to flourish.
