Céline Leboeuf (A.B. '07, Ph.D. '16) is an associate professor of philosophy and affiliate faculty in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Florida International University. Her current research discusses the ways in which social identities such as gender and race affect our experience of our bodies.
The Tyranny of Thinnes is "A fearlessly feminist philosophical approach to defying diet culture, cultivating radical self-care, and rediscovering empowered embodiment. Informed by personal narrative, cultural studies, and the work of luminaries from Simone de Beauvoir and Mary Wollstonecraft to Audre Lorde and Roxane Gay."
