Foot-binding is a rich topic for our students. I commend the Prof. for allowing us time to discuss this issue, as it undoubtedly interests our students; even if student fascination is of the morbid type, any interest provoked at all opens the door for enduring learning. As it happened, my book had a short section about foot-binding this week. We discussed how our culture reflects aspects of this type of “competitive grooming” with plastic surgery. If you ever come across the topic I suggest exploring this idea of “competitive grooming” with students, as they are in a great position to discuss the topic, with their extensive knowledge of pop culture.
