'Lecturer of the Year' to discuss advertising images of women

2:30 p.m., Oct. 6, 2003--Jean Kilbourne, internationally recognized for her pioneering work on alcohol and tobacco advertising and the image of women in advertising, will speak on “The Naked Truth: Advertising’s Image of Women” at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 8, in the Multipurpose Room of the Trabant University Center.

Jean Kilbourne

Kilbourne explores the serious cumulative impact of advertising on individual attitudes, values and behaviors and on society as a whole, pointing out that although ads may seem harmless, they represent a powerful form of cultural conditioning.

Kilbourne, who was named by The New York Times as one of the three most popular speakers on college campuses, has twice received the “Lecturer of the Year” award from the National Association for Campus Activities, with more than 1,000 colleges and universities taking part in the selection. Currently a visiting scholar at Wellesley College, Kilbourne has served as an adviser to two surgeon generals and has testified before Congress.

She is the author of “Can’t Buy My Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think and Feel,” and there will be a book signing after her talk.

Her talk is part of Sexual Assault Awareness Week at UD and is sponsored by UD’s Building Responsibility Coalition.
