Alice Weinreb is an Associate Professor of History at Loyola University Chicago. She is currently working on a new project on the transnational rise of eating disorders in the late twentieth century which has received funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Library of Medicine. She has published two articles based on this research. “Anorexia Nervosa and the Weight of the Holocaust” (Isis, June 2025) and “Anorexia, Bulimia, and the Embodiment of Capitalist Consumer Culture” (The Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Food Studies, 2024). Her prize-winning first book, Modern Hungers: Food and Power in Twentieth Century Germany (Oxford: 2017), traced the social, economic, and military impacts of the industrial food system on modern German history.
