Courtney Jung is a distinguished political scientist and author whose work bridges the intersections of feminism, public policy, and cultural movements. With a PhD in political science, she has held faculty positions at prestigious institutions, including Yale University, where her research explores the dynamics of identity, rights, and social change.

In her acclaimed book Lactivism: How Feminists and Fundamentalists, Hippies and Yuppies, and Physicians and Politicians Made Breastfeeding Big Business and Bad Policy, she dissects the commercialization and politicization of breastfeeding, revealing the unintended consequences of advocacy efforts. Her writing combines rigorous scholarship with accessible prose, making complex socio-political issues relatable to a broad audience.
