TL;DR - Barriers on multiple levels:
1. Systemic - eg, whitestream epistemology
2 Institutional - eg, lack of support, funding & diversity
3. Interpersonal - eg, unequal power dynamics
4. Individual - eg, lack of antiracist training, 'publish or perish' pressures

A happy Monday indeed! New research with Josh Francis, @phoebe-gray.bsky.social and Megan Hurst just dropped in Body Image 🥳
We examined body image researchers' perceived impact of white supremacy in appearance research and the barriers they face in resisting these influences.

"This is not about defining what is a woman, but who is a citizen in our society with the right to self ownership and autonomy and the integrity of their body and mind. You can tell it is a question of citizenship from the fact that trans people were not allowed to represent our interests..."

In reality, racial disparities are still HUGE, with little improvement. (see below)

One year ago today I passed my viva! Cannot for the life of me believe how time flies!
(The date stamp is on the 15th because I posted late on here)
I should mention that if you’ve enjoyed this paper on cultural capital and body image I’m reposting, you might find our parallel paper on objectification and body image amongst White working-class women interesting! They’re from the same larger project :)
