(born January 4, 1943) is an author, speaker, and filmmaker who is internationally recognized for her work on the image of women in advertising and her critical studies of alcohol and tobacco advertising.〔Dee, J., “Jean Kilbourne.” in 〕 She is also credited with introducing the idea of educating about media literacy as a way to prevent problems she viewed as originating from mass media advertising campaigns. She also lectures about the topic,〔Jean Kilbourne Official Site. http://www.jeankilbourne.com〕 and her documentaries (such as the ''Killing Us Softly'' series) based on these lectures are viewed around the world.〔Media Education Foundation. http://www.mediaed.org〕 She is a graduate of Wellesley College and holds a doctorate in education from Boston University, as well as an honorary doctorate from Westfield State College, for her "research () insights () lead us from consumerism to consciousness."〔 == History and academics == In the late 1960s, Jean Kilbourne began her exploration of the connection between advertising and several public health issues,〔Kilbourne, Jean. “Media Education and Public Health.” Telemedium, The Journal of Media Literacy Vol. 44, no. 2. Fall 1998: 3–4.〕 including violence against women, eating disorders, and addiction,〔Kilbourne, J., "The Spirit of the Czar: Selling Addictions to Women." in 〕 and launched a movement to promote media literacy as a way to prevent these problems. A radical and original idea at the time, this approach is now mainstream and an integral part of most prevention programs.〔 Kilbourne has spoken at about half of the colleges and universities in the U.S. She is frequently a keynote speaker at a wide range of conferences,〔"tgif + a (s)hero giveaway!" Dr. Brene Brown. http://www.ordinarycourage.com/my-blog/2010/4/23/tgif-a-shero-giveaway.html〕 including those focusing on addictions and public health, violence against women, and media literacy.〔 In 1993, Jean Kilbourne was appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services to the National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. She has been interviewed by many major news sources such as ''Time, Newsweek'', and ''The New York Times'', and has been featured on hundreds of television and radio programs including ''The Today Show, 20/20, All Things Considered'', and ''The Oprah Winfrey Show''.〔 In 2004, a Canadian all-female rock band paid tribute to Kilbourne by naming their band Kilbourne, the same year she was granted an honorary doctorate from Westfield State College. In recent years, Kilbourne has been interviewed for ''Feminists Who Changed America 1963-1975'' and included as a trading card for (Media Heroes ) which "celebrate beloved media heroes" as a teaching tool with hand drawn art along with a short biography. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jean Kilbourne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
