March 7, 12:30pm - 1:30pmWindward Campus, Hale Akoakoa 105
Film "Slim Hopes: Advertising and the Obsession with Thinness." Jean Kilbourne's award-winning video offers an in-depth analysis of how female bodies are depicted in advertising images and the devastating effects of those images on women's health. Addressing the relationship between these images and the obsession of girls and women with dieting and thinness, Slim Hopes offers a new way to think about life-threatening eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, and a well-documented critical perspective on the social impact of advertising.
Viewing of the thirty-minute film, with panel discussion afterwards, including Pamela DaGrossa, Anthropology Instructor at WCC, Elizabeth Ashley, WCC Assistant Dean of Instruction, and Kathleen French, Sociology Instructor at WCC.
