DOXA

Dear Readers,

As a member of the CMU body, I am confident that you have been given several opportunities to assess your clothing choices. You may have been asked to ponder questions like where did you buy your clothing and does that change how you interact with it? Often these questions can overshadow other aspects of your clothing such as what your clothing says about you (if you are wearing Blundstones, a Patagonia sweater, and a Nalgene attached to your belt with a carabiner, you’re wearing CMU Basic). But does basic have to be a negative thing? Clothing can shape how you interact with your environment and give strangers information about yourself. ‘Basic’ says that you fit with the values of this community.

The writers of the Doxa have taken it upon themselves to examine their wardrobes (and a prof’s!) to understand the interactions between clothing, their owner, and environments. As the reader, you have been given the opportunity to interact with the Doxa through a hypothesis and becoming a local stylist; read on to find out more!

When you come across a copy of the Doxa, feel free to take it home with you and connect with your inner child.

Your Stylin’ Editors,

Mike and Katie
