Sabrina Strings Biography

Sabrina Strings, Ph.D., is a scholar specializing in the intersections of race, gender, and embodiment. She serves as Professor and North Hall Chair of Black Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Strings' research focuses on race, gender, and embodiment within science, media, and medicine. Prior to her role at UCSB, she was a recipient of the UC Berkeley Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellowship, with a joint appointment in the School of Public Health and Department of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. Strings holds a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Master of Arts and doctorate in sociology from the University of California, San Diego.

Her book, "Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia," published by NYU Press, examines the historical roots of fat phobia and the racialization of the female body. The work traces how the fear of fat Black women developed over more than two centuries. The New York Times noted that the book makes a heavily cited case that modern society's idolization of thinness is less rooted in medical science than in racist ideas born during the Enlightenment. "Fearing the Black Body" received the Body and Embodiment Best Publication Award from the American Sociological Association and was an honorable mention for the Sociology of Sex and Gender Distinguished Book Award. Strings' writing has appeared in The New York Times, Scientific American, Ethnic and Racial Studies, and Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society.

Her second book, "The End of Love: Racism, Sexism, and the Death of Romance," published by Beacon Press, explores how traditional romance has been particularly elusive for women of color and examines the intersections of racism, sexism, and romantic relationships. The book connects historical developments to contemporary issues, analyzing how power dynamics have shaped love and commitment. "The End of Love" earned Strings the Teshome H. Gabriel Distinguished Africanist Award from UC San Diego and has been recognized by Ms. Magazine for its feminist analysis of sexism, whiteness, and toxic masculinity.

Strings has been featured in media outlets including BBC News, NPR, Huffington Post, NowThis, Essence, Vogue, TIME, and The New York Times. She appears in the Netflix docuseries "The Black Beauty Effect." As a public speaker, Strings delivers lectures at universities nationwide, contributing her sociological expertise to discussions on race, gender, body image, and modern romance. Her work connects historical context to contemporary issues such as diet culture and dating apps, offering insight into the ongoing impact of race and gender in society.

Sabrina Strings Speaking Topics

The Racial Origins of FatPhobia

North Americans commonly believe that the Western aversion to fatness is rooted in medical concerns, especially given the purported “obesity epidemic.” However, studies have shown that the aversion to fat bodies in the West precedes medical warnings about any presumed relationship between fat and health. Further, research has long established that group most likely to be denigrated for being fat is Black women. In this presentation, I will show that contrary to popular beliefs, fatphobia is not rooted in medical concerns. Rather, it arose as a mechanism to justify the booming enterprise of slavery through the degradation of Black people, and Black women in particular, as unrestrained in their “animal appetites.” Moreover, when the medical establishment elected to take up questions regarding the relationship between fat and health in the 20th century, physicians chose BMI as its proxy, a tool mired first in eugenics, and later in colorblind racism.
What Killed Romance? On the Birth of Fboys

The die-off of romance among the younger generations (Millennials and Gen-Z) is palpable. But what if I told you that the trend we are witnessing with young people today began under their parent’s (Gen X and Boomer) and even their grandparent’s (Silent) generations? In this talk, I reveal that there was a little-known crusade during the mid-20th century movement era (~1950s-1980) to undo romance as a backlash to feminism. Initiated by white male media moguls, men were advised against commitment unless to the “highest” type of woman. Later, many black male entertainers would ally themselves to the cause—an unexpected consequence of racial integration. Together, their efforts resulted in an explosion of men who are wary of serious relationships with women, especially women who are neither rich nor white: the so-called fuckboys. This talk, based on research done for my book The End of Love: Racism, Sexism and the Death of Romance, shows it’s not just social media and dating apps that ruined contemporary romance. The dissolution of romance began decades prior as the new mode of male domination.

The Myth of the Obesity-Diabetes Connection

We've been hearing for decades now that obesity is a primary risk factor for the development of Type 2 diabetes (T2D). We know, for instance, that among the total U.S. population, around 11% of persons are diabetic. But, for "obese" persons alone that number rises to 24%. What many researchers conveniently ignore with these data is that over 75% of people classified as obese are NOT diabetic. Moreover, in some countries, the rate of diabetes is as common as, or MORE common than "obesity"! In this presentation, I draw back the curtain on the myth of obesity being a primary factor in the development of Type 2 diabetes. Not only is the etiology of diabetes still largely a mystery, but data from across the globe reveals that there is no consistent pattern in the relationship between elevations in BMI, and the prevalence of T2D.
How to Address Discrimination

DEI is under attack. But, rather than being outraged, this gives us a new opportunity to recalibrate how we address the issue of discrimination. Existing responses (such as DEI) rely on simplistic trainings that more or less tell people "don't discriminate." But research shows that biases are implicit. In this workshop, I build on cutting edge research on discrimination to show that it is not something we can simply teach others to "unthink." I demonstrate how we can be free of the pain and power of discrimination by using scientifically-validated tools that allow us to see how it shows up in our lives in real-time, and teaches us how to intervene in the moment.
