Scholars with Tattoos
JANUARY 19, 2010 TUESDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
Almost one in four Americans has a tattoo today. Gone are the days when only bikers, sailors and self-declared rebels displayed their tattooed arms; today, even academics are getting into the act by tattooing their favorite formula or graph on their bodies. We explore the history of this phenomenon and the reasons for this increased popularity with UW-Madison Professor of Anthropology, Neil Whitehead.

Guest
  • Neil Whitehead, Professor of Anthropology and Religious Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison
