We were honored to have Dr. Renee Engeln as the featured speaker of our 2025 Working Wardrobe Luncheon. Dr. Engeln is an award winning professor of psychology at Northwestern University. She is also the author of “Beauty Sick: How the Cultural Obsession with Appearance Hurts Girls and Women.” Her research has appeared in numerous academic journals and at academic conferences, as well as broadly in more mainstream media outlets such as the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, BBC, and the Huffington Post. Dr. Engeln’s TEDx Talk, which focuses on issues surrounding women’s body images, has more than half a million views. We were thrilled to have her share her knowledge and expertise on the relationship between clothing insecurity and body image/self-esteem.
