Identity is more than a name or a nationality. It lives in our language, our traditions, our clothing, and even the way we wear our hair. When institutions set standards for appearance, an important question emerges: where do we draw the line between discipline and identity? At what point does regulating appearance become regulating self-expression?
In this feature we explore the growing conversation at Addis Ababa University, where a simple haircut has sparked a much deeper debate about culture, belonging, and what it means to embrace who we are. We want to hear from you: in the name of discipline, are we slowly erasing self-identity?
