Amina Mire<\/strong>
\nProfessor, Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Carleton University<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Email<\/strong>: Amina.Mire@carleton.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mire\u2019s research interests include the racialization and bio-medicalization of women\u2019s bodies and skin, and anti-racist and anti-colonial research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mire\u2019s current research examines changing skin-whitening technologies by tracing their emergence from colonial encounters, in which white skin was accorded social and cultural capital, toward the contemporary global marketing of biotechnology products that promise smooth, brightened and youthful-looking skin to affluent women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
