"They use my lipstick that looks like a penis, and they said that it's an ugly picture for students," she said. "If someone, the parents of the students, see that you are the lecturer and [what] you put [on] your Instagram, you cannot be the lecturer. This is the Thai way of thinking." Image by Julia Boccagno.
