What does the word "luxury" mean to you? In this episode of Foreword, we unpack the idea of what luxury is, how we can study it, and why studying it matters.
Dr. Jessica Clark, Associate Professor with the Department of History, and Dr. Nigel Lezama, Associate Professor of French with the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, talk about their recent joint publication "Canadian Critical Luxury Studies: Decentering Luxury".
