Katie Beswick

Katie Beswick, a Senior Lecturer in Arts Management at Goldsmiths, dives into the representation of working-class women in British culture. She discusses the evolution of the term ‘slag’ and its implications for identity in contemporary art and media. Beswick analyzes how the male gaze distorts female perspectives in film and reflects on the complexities of truth and authenticity in narratives by women. She emphasizes the intersections of class, race, and sexuality, citing examples from prominent artists like Michaela Coel, making a compelling case for deeper academic exploration.
