Description:

Author Harriet Brown (Body of Truth) discusses how she overcame her longtime struggles with body shame and weight stigma, how her daughter's anorexia changed her relationship with food, why she became a vocal proponent of the Health At Every Size movement, how to fight back against diet culture, and lots more.

Harriet Brown is a professor of magazine journalism at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and has nearly 30 years of experience as a writer and editor. She's worked at magazines including Redbook and New York Woman, and writes for many national publications including The New York Times Magazine, O Magazine, Vogue, Psychology Today, Prevention, and Parenting. 

Her most recent book, Body of Truth: How Science, History, and Culture Drive Our Obsession with Weight--and What We Can Do about It, has been hailed as "a must-read for anyone ready to start shaking this fat = bad, thin = good obsession" (Bustle). Her previous book, Brave Girl Eating: A Family's Struggle with Anorexia, won a "Books for a Better Life" award in 2011. Brown also edited the anthology Feed Me!: Writers Dish About Food, Eating, Weight, and Body Image. Find her online at HarrietBrown.com.
