Is there a relationship between Bratz dolls and young girls’ body image, sexuality, and self-esteem? A lecture from guest speaker Tomi-Ann Roberts titled, “Little Bratz: Sexualization of girls and girlhood,” will answer that question Tuesday, March 9, at 7 p.m. in Fenton Hall Room 105.
The lecture is part of Women’s History Month, presented by the Women’s Studies program and the Women’s Student Union. It is free and open to the public.
Dr. Roberts is currently the Winkler-Herman endowed Professor of Psychology at Colorado College.
