Cultural Models Of Bodily Images Of Women Teachers, Christine A. Mallozzi
Gender and Women's Studies Faculty Publications
Cultural models are simplified images and storylines that encapsulated what is regarded as typical for a social group. Cultural models of teachers include body images of dress, adornment, and comportment, and are useful in examining society’s standards and values. Two participants, Erin and Gabbie (pseudonyms), shared stories about their tattoos, which in the U.S. have historically been seen as a mode of resistance.
