APPROPRIATE 
by Raegan Payne
directed by Caitlin Davies

Appropriate addresses the policing of young women’s bodies by school administrations. Dress codes in schools often promote sexism by reinforcing the idea that women are responsible for a man’s behavior and that a woman’s body is shameful.  These policies, unduly harsh and restrictive of girls, impede their ability to learn.

From L to R: Matthew Cohn, Lauren Lubow, and Liz Morgan

​THE CRUISE
