Professor Radhika Parameswaran was a plenary speaker at the Global Fusion conference held at Temple University, Philadelphia, Oct 14.

The research she presented on the plenary panel addressed the next phase of her previously published work on representations of skin color, beauty and identity in advertising images in India.

In this research-in-progress, she is studying how journalists, film-makers, ordinary citizens in India and the Indian diaspora, playwrights and celebrities are resisting and challenging the media's promotion of skin color discrimination in India.
