Laura Backstrom
I
received my BA in Sociology from Fordham University in 2006. My areas of
interest include gender, sexuality, the body, and social psychology. I am
particularly interested in the social consequences of obesity, and my MA
thesis looks at the role of body weight in attaining romantic and sexual
relationships in young adulthood. I also currently teach Sexual Diversity.
In addition to sociology, I enjoy traveling, art, writing, and running
half-marathons.
