Girls, Style, and School Identities Dressing

Writing against the grain of popular perception, Pomerantz offers an intricate look at how girls use style to negotiate their identities in school. Based on a year-long study in a Vancouver high school, Pomerantz highlights style as a meaning-making practice that demands to be taken seriously.

Shauna Pomerantz is Assistant Professor of Child & Youth Studies at Brock University in St. Catharines, Canada.
