The International Symposium ‘Race’, Beauty and Feminist Theory in Latin America and the Caribbean will provide a platform for the launch of a Special Issue of Feminist Theory and explore gaps, trends and future research agendas. It will bring together some of the authors of this publication with other exciting researchers to foster a dialogue about feminist theorizing on beauty and racialization processes. The speakers build on recent feminist scholarship that has focussed on how beauty is both imagined and deployed in particular contexts. They will highlight empirical work emerging from Latin America and the Caribbean which questions political discourses that emphasise successful equality policies, re-evaluating how gendered and racialised dynamics of social exclusion are being refashioned and redeployed.
