Look beyond the glamour and discover the psychology and sociology behind a global icon.

Using Elizabeth Taylor’s life as a case study, students explore identity, fame, beauty, power, addiction, activism, and reinvention — and how individuals are shaped by culture and, in turn, reshape it.

Topics include the beauty myth, the four types of capital, media representation, gendered expectations, and the psychology of coping and resilience. We also explore how Taylor transformed symbolic fame into economic power and challenged stigma during the AIDS crisis.

This is not about memorising films — it’s about learning to think critically and understanding how identity forms at the intersection of psychology, society, and culture.

Designed for tweens and teens who love big ideas told through human stories.
