Spencer Bradbury
I completed the requirements for a Master of Arts degree in September 2018, thus capping off seven wonderful years with the Department of Geography as both an undergraduate and graduate student. My Master’s project comprised of a two-month research trip to Colombia, in which I interviewed cosmetic surgeons on the topics of globalization, entrepreneurialism, cosmetic surgery tourism, and social media. Now, building off of my interests in theories of governmentality, techniques of the self, performativity, and subject formation, I am currently writing on the production of the body, subjects, and space in the context of globalizing neoliberal aesthetics.
