“Self-Image Marketing aND the Beauty Industry”
Madison Reuter
Junior Fellow
Aesthetics, Ethics, Philosophy of Identity, Philosophy of Marketing
Madison Reuter is a graduate of Fashion Institute of Technology, where she received a Bachelor of Science in Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing. Doing her course of study, she became troubled by ethical issues within the industry and began to explore beauty standards, the societal significance of physical beauty, and the moral implications of cultural ideals. While at FIT, she wrote and directed a 90-minute documentary based on her research.
During her time as a Junior Fellow she will revise her documentary and premier the new version at an IPPL event. She will also create YouTube content aimed specifically at younger audiences about the ethics of the beauty industry, with an eye towards the larger universal philosophical issues, and the actions young people can undertake to challenge the harmful impact of marketing and social expectations.
Madison was raised in upstate New York and plans to pursue a doctorate in philosophy.
