Dr. Jean Kilbourne - Colloquium Keynote Speaker November 8, 2008, 5:30 - 7:00 pm, Crossroads Center:
Deadly Persuasion: Advertising & Addiction. Addiction is arguably the number one public health problem in our country, one that affects all of us. This presentation exposes the manipulative marketing strategies and tactics used by the alcohol and tobacco industries to keep people hooked on their dangerous products. Jean Kilbourne presents a compelling argument that these cynical industries have a clear and deep understanding of the psychology of addiction - an understanding they exploit to create and feed a life-threatening dependency on their products. She also educates the audience about targeting and the primary purpose of the mass media, which is to deliver audiences to advertisers. In addition, she demonstrates how the objectification of women and the obsession with thinness are related to addiction.
 Jean Kilbourne is internationally recognized for her pioneering work on alcohol
and tobacco advertising and the image of women in advertising. Her films, slide
lectures, and television appearances have been seen by millions of people
throughout the world. She was named by The New York Times Magazine as one
of the three most popular speakers on college campuses.
Her book, Can’t Buy My Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think
and Feel, was called by Publishers Weekly “a profound work that is required
reading for informed consumers.” It won the Distinguished Publication Award
from the Association for Women in Psychology.
The award-winning films based on her lectures include Killing Us Softly,
Spin the Bottle, and Slim Hopes. She has been interviewed by many magazines and
newspapers, and is a frequent guest on radio and television programs, including
The Today Show, On the Record with Bob Costas, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Dr. Kilbourne has served as an advisor to the Surgeon General and has
testified for the U.S. Congress. She is a Visiting Scholar at Wellesley College.
She has received many awards, including the Lecturer of the Year award
from the National Association for Campus Activities. The presenter of an award
from the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists said, “No one in
the world has done more to improve the image of women in the media than
Jean Kilbourne.”
