Biography

Natalie Jovanovski is an award-winning author and health sociologist whose research focuses on identifying and critiquing the gendered factors that affect women's relationships with food and their bodies. Her work has specifically examined how cultural messages about food are marketed to women and how these messages normalize disordered and restrictive eating behaviors. Jovanovski has published her research in various Q1 journals, including Critical Public Health and Violence Against Women, and her work has been featured in both academic and mainstream media outlets in Australia and internationally. She engages in various projects that conceptualize and problematize gender and power in public health, exploring critical perspectives on weight stigma and social justice in health. Jovanovski has made significant contributions to discussions on health sociology, feminist pedagogy, and gendered experiences related to dieting and body image.
