Elisabeth Lechner is a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at the Department of English and American Studies at the University of Vienna, currently working on a habilitation project on culinary life writing in British literature, i.e. the role of food in women's auto/biographical writing. She completed her PhD at the University of Vienna in 2020. Situated at the intersections of literary, cultural and media studies as well as affect & body studies, her research on ‘disgusting’ female bodies, body positivity and digital feminist activisms was published academically and as the German non-fiction book Riot Don't Diet! Aufstand der widerspenstigen Körper (2021, 3rd edition).

Apart from engaging in various forms of science-public communication and conducting workshops on media literacy, body shaming and lookism over the last few years, more recent publications include “#Feminist – Naming Controversies and Celebrating Points of Connection and Joy in Current Feminisms” (together with Greta Olson) and co-editing the collective volume Caring for Cultural Studies (2022).

She is active on social media as @femsista.
