Join author Phillipa McGuinness as she talks about her new book Skin Deep: the Inside Story of Our Outer Selves. It's a book about skin. The strange wonderfulness of our bodily covering.

Skin Deep explores beauty, ageing, imperfection, health and illness, all of which are closely related to skin, and interrogates whiteness, both historically, structurally and through current notions of white fragility and victimhood.
