Staring and Its Implications in Society, Rosemarie Garland-Thomson

Prof. Garland-Thomson (Women's Studies) talks about how we examine other people in her new book, "Staring: How We Look" (Oxford University Press, 2009). "Staring is a vital book for our understanding of disability and its impact on each of us," says Sander Gilman (author of "Making the Body Beautiful: A Cultural History of Aesthetic Surgery"). "It is a bold and path-breaking book that should be on the reading list of everyone in education, public affairs, and social policy."
