Biography

Andrea Bombak is an Associate Professor specializing in critical weight and health services at the University of New Brunswick. Her scholarly work critically explores the policy messaging surrounding the 'obesity epidemic' and the lived experiences of weight stigma. She has led qualitative projects focusing on bariatric surgery, body acceptance, and food education in the post-secondary context, meaningfully contributing to the understanding of weight and health in Canada and the USA. Currently, she is the principal investigator for a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council-funded project investigating fatphobic, faith-based, and postfeminist messaging prevalent in Multi-Level Marketing posts. Additionally, she actively contributes to research examining the marketing strategies of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists, supported by the Harrison McCain Young Scholars Award from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Her expertise also extends to investigations probing the attitudes and behaviors related to 'wine mom culture' and the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages among Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. With a robust publication record, Bombak's works include critical discourse analyses and comprehensive reviews addressing complex health issues.
