“…Thus, Black men are summoned by the wider society to both obtain and maintain a professional image that closely assimilates Whiteness. More often than not, we find previous scholarship that takes into account “the hair salon as a gendered space for women” because of highly contextualized beauty rituals and standards that come from the media among other outlets (Barber 2008, p. 457; Ourahmoune and El Jurdi 2020). However, these same social constructions of beauty standards are also familiar to Black men.…”

Due to the dearth of literature that has foregrounded the psychological causes and conditions impacting Black men’s academic success while enrolled in STEM doctoral programs, this qualitative study examined the psychological costs of racism among 20 Black men enrolled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) doctoral programs. Utilizing Critical Race Theory to contextualize and situate this study, this manuscript explored racialized interactions between Black men and their non‐Black advisors and colleagues using semi‐structured qualitative interviews. The multiple forms of racism that Black men encounter consists of (1) Black male exceptionalism (e.g., the Barack Obama Effect), (2) the expectation that they will be the spokesperson for the entire Black race, (3) the White oppositional gaze directed towards their physical appearance and stature, and (4) that their departments turn a blind eye towards issues of racism. Black men navigate, negotiate, and respond to racism in their departments by resigning from their diversity‐focused leadership positions due to their racialized ‘token’ status, tapping into their spirituality, and by acquiring an arrogant yet humble demeanor to combat racial hostilities. The recommendations of this study provide strategies and tools for ensuring that college and university administrators and faculty provide safe spaces for Black men to thrive and succeed in academia.

<span>The quality of beauty treatment services will be evaluated by the clients subjectively whether they are satisfied or otherwise with the services provided. However, the reports and complaints related to customer dissatisfaction when receiving beauty treatment services at beauty centers are increasing. Unfortunately, the suggestions for improvement from the previous studies are still insufficient. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the importance of proficiency in communication skills and the need for training modules in the teaching and learning process (T&L). It is required to improve communication skills among cosmetology students for Upper Secondary Vocational Education Program (USVEP) in beauty arts course. The data were collected through the interview method on six USVEP teachers and a beauty salon entrepreneur. The findings of the study found that the proficiency in communication skills among the cosmetology students is an important requirement for employers in selecting their employees, increasing customer loyalty and the customer’s frequency to visit beauty salons, and maintaining the excellent performance of cosmetology students in the workplace. In addition, there is also a high demand for the development of communication skills training modules in helping cosmetology students to constantly updated with new knowledge and skills needed from time to time. Therefore, adequate training is required to improve the competency in communication skills among the cosmetology students.</span>

Facemask: from pandemic to marketplace iconicity

As a result of Covid-19 outbreak, surgical facemasks first emerged as a pandemic icon to then expand into a marketplace icon, with substantial transformations in their meanings, uses, and commercial expressions. This essay contends that facemasks have become a (post-)pandemic marketplace icon by articulating tensions in the socio-cultural, the public media, and the economic sphere. Relying upon secondary-data retrieved from mass media and scientific articles boomed during the pandemic, we propose a theoretically eclectic appraisal of (1) facemasks' iconisation, (2) the distinct systems raising masks to that iconic status, and (3) the "Marketplace Icons" series more broadly.
