Currently, in cities across America you can book a character, for example, a princess, to entertain parties and events. These characters are based on Disney fairytales and other children’s stories. This project takes a student engagement experience in what “princessing” and pushes it in a scholarly direction, including qualitative and quantitative research into who is participating in these events, where they are taking place, and reflections into the lived experience of becoming a princess.
