Banned by a Brand: What Your Wardrobe Says About Power
Nayiri Keshishi
(Associate Professor in Legal Education & Law (Foundation Year))
What really happens when a brand decides you’re no longer welcome? Is it harmless customer service—or the beginnings of a tiny corporate state policing your wardrobe choices? In this eye‑opening talk, we’ll peel back the glossy veneer of online retail to explore how companies can refuse service, profile your data, and leave you with almost no right to appeal. Along the way, we’ll ask bigger questions about digital “citizenship,” personal rights, and whether being banned from fast fashion might just spark an unexpected moment of enlightenment.
