Professor Jayne Raisborough

Academic Advisory Board Member 2018-26

Jayne Raisborough is Emeritus Professor of Media, within the School of Cultural Studies and Humanities at Leeds Beckett University.

Her work asks how media representations and mediated cultures relate to ‘citizenship’, identities, and our feeling about our selves and bodies. She explores how old, fat and marginalized selves appear as trouble to argue that these representations matter to our well-being, health, our relations to each other and to the environment.

Publications include Fat Bodies, Health and the Media (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016), Lifestyle Media and the Formation of the Self (Palgrave Macmillan, 2011), and Risks, Identities and the Everyday (Routledge, 2008, co-edited with Julie Scott Jones).
