Since 1995, Ophira Edut has lectured at colleges and conferences nationwide. She's covered everything from body image to media-making, women to websites, pop stars to six-pointed stars. Comes with slides, interactivity and punchy graphics to entertain your overstimulated, short-attention-span troops.

Body Outlaws: How to Love Your Body Through Thick AND Thin
What is healthy body image? In what ways do body image problems go beyond eating disorders? How are body image issues tied to culture and other factors? Edut discusses why body image is a multicultural women's health issue, sharing excerpts from her anthology Body Outlaws. (Workshops also available)

Mediarology: Breaking Down the Media
In a media-driven age where "image is everything," how can we use the media as a tool, instead of being used as tools of the media? Drawing on a decade of independent magazine, book, and web publishing, Edut shares how to make your idea into an world-changing enterprise.

The Jewess is Loose!
What does it mean to be a Jewish American woman today? How can Jewish women use our unique approach to activism and leadership to contribute to the peace movement? As an Israeli-American who grew up in a largely Arab-American Detroit community, Edut talks about her struggle to preserve both her Israeli identity AND the Arab-Jewish alliances she's made in America.
