Monica’s research study aims to address the question: How do skin-lightening advertisements work in relation to the broader system of meanings? By using the 'lens' of the skin-lightening phenomenon, discussions will be led on exploring how identity is reproduced and how the subjectivity of women manifests itself. Her analysis will draw on the lived experiences and narratives of British Bangladeshi women and their social construction and social identities within a visual landscape.
