Janet Tomiyama, Ph.D.

Associate Professor, Department of Psychology

I am a health psychologist that studies how the way we think and feel changes our health. I am interested in finding antidotes to the current culture of fat shaming and body dissatisfaction, including self-kindness interventions and anti-weight-stigma campaigns. My other research interests include comfort eating, alternatives to omnivorism, and health disparities.
