Join Professor Natalia Mehlman Petrzela in conversation about her new book about the past, present, and future of United States fitness culture, which the New York Times has called “a whirlwind journey,” the Washington Post describes as “combining an academic approach with an activist’s urgency,” and the Wall Street Journal recommends for its “quick-lap pace” and “exciting turncoat vigor.“
This event is part of the Critical History Today lecture series, the themes of which build upon our shared commitment to developing modes of historical analysis that speak to the urgent concerns of the present and that promote rigorous engagement between history and other branches of the humanities and social sciences.
Presented by the History department at Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts and Historical Studies department at The New School for Social Research.
