Gayle Sulik, M.A., Ph.D., is a medical sociologist affiliated with the University at Albany and founder of the Breast Cancer Consortium. Her ground breaking analysis of the culture and cult of breast cancer, richly described in her book, “Pink Ribbon Blues: How Breast Cancer Culture Undermines Women’s Health,” has stirred a grass roots feminist reawakening. Joining the ranks of feminist provocateurs who have observed how acceptable narratives neutralize and trivialize women’s suffering, she shows how the pink ribbon is itself wrapped in a system that uses advocacy, culture, mass media, and the medical industry for its own purposes, to create a festive culture of consumption that wrests in profitable complacency. She received a National Endowment for the Humanities research fellowship in 2008, was named as one of the top ten online influencers in the field of breast cancer from ShareCare in 2012, and is winner of the 2013 Sociologists for Women in Society Distinguished Feminist Lecturer award. One of the most sought-after experts in breast cancer and women’s health, Gayle Sulik has much to offer in showing others not only how to do the kind of important research she has done, but how to reach beyond the ivory tower to share it with those who will benefit most.Follow on Twitter @pinkribbonblues.
