Cosmetic injectables are evolving... with help from deceased donors. What are your thoughts?
In this discussion, Dr. Becki Nash will be sharing her research into public and professional attitudes around cosmetic injectables made from human adipose tissue, sourced from deceased donors.
What do you think of the idea of being injected with a dead person's tissue? Would you do it? Is it an acceptable, ethical practice? What concerns would you have, and why?
Come and join the Death Cluster as we talk about this complex evolving trend. Everyone welcome, no knowledge of cosmetic procedures required.

About Dr. Becki Nash
Becki researches cosmetic medical procedures. She is broadly interested in how cosmetic procedures are normalised and routinised in 'everyday' (gendered) beauty practices. Her recent research has focused on how aesthetic practitioners navigate cosmetic entrepreneurship in an increasingly saturated market and how they experience their role as 'gatekeepers' of beauty. She is currently exploring perceptions towards the use of human tissue in cosmetic injectables. Lastly, Becki has a forthcoming autoethnographic article (The Sociological Review, in press) that explores the blurring of boundaries between researcher-bodies and/as researched-bodies when conducting aesthetic fieldwork.
This is a student event (e.g. a graduate conference).
