Salon Salon” is a gathering for *women to discuss identity and relationships through the vehicle of hair. Whether coiled and coiffed, cleanly shaven, or capped beneath a head covering, women and their hair (or lack thereof) has long-been a cultural conversation.

At the Salon, the “Salonniere” (i.e. moderator) will begin the event with opening remarks on the event’s hair-themed medium and propose questions for thoughtful consideration in subsequent small group discussions. Before the end of the event, the Salonniere will reconvene the entire group for final reflections.

Salonniere: Deanna Hughes

Pre-Event Discussion Item: Massachusetts joins wave of states banning racial discrimination against natural hair

 *“women” is used as a self-defined term that is not limited to cis or binary identification

Salon Salon is a part of the HR-EDI Office’s effort to foster a diverse, inclusive, and equitable campus community in alignment with the Diversity & Inclusion goal of the university’s strategic plan.
