Prof. Samantha Brennan appeared in a Mar. 31 National Post article about marketing of marijuana to women.

Dean of U of G’s College of Arts, Brennan said that if marijuana retailers want to appeal to women, they’ll have to somehow link the product to healthy living and activities such as yoga or running. She said she is uneasy about the range of things that marijuana is purported to benefit — from cramps to insomnia — and said perhaps we should be think more about what we want our lives to look like when we confront a new wave of product marketing.

Brennan researches contemporary normative ethics, applied ethics and feminist philosophy. She has co-authored a new book, Fit at Mid-Life.
