Episode 45: Spurred by a rerun of “The Teenage Textbook” (1998) on Netflix, we discuss the uniform and how it is experienced and viewed by the wearer as well as the observer. Do all Thai students wear the same uniform and what is it about the Japanese schoolgirl uniform that has propelled it to both fame and infamy in popular culture? Will we move to gender-neutral school uniforms before long? We also reminisce about our secondary school uniforms and try to pinpoint why it is that uniforms invite transgressions.
