Super pleased to see this post after not logging in to BlueSky for years!

Themes in body image researchers' free text responses to questions about challenges to anti-racism and inclusivity in body image research: 1. Body Image Researchers as Individuals Within Systems 1.1. Limited Individual Power in Disrupting Systemic Racism 1.2. Lack of Anti-Racist Education and Training 1.3. Complicity vs Resistance in white supremacist Body Image Practices 2. Lack of Diversity Amongst Body Image Researchers 2.1. “Echo chamber of white-ness” 2.2. Researchers of Colour Disproportionately Obstructed 3. Barriers Within the Research Process 3.1 White Centricity Creates Blind Spots in Body Image Research 3.2 Practical Methodological Barriers 3.3 ‘Publish or Perish’ Culture

Table of researchers' perceived responsibility and impact in addressing white supremacy.

Second skeet-worthy paper of the day:
Global north body image researchers identify a range of challenges and barriers to addressing implicit white supremacy in the field.
Depressingly, senior/mid career ppl feel less responsibility in this domain than juniors.

Beyond excited to be launching this study examining people's experiences of hypervigilance and wellbeing post-UK Supreme Court ruling.

Also shout out to our appearance/body image research colleagues who took the time to share their experiences with us - we're super grateful!! 🙌

This research actually feels even more timely now than when we first started it.

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..."

The Supreme Court ignored trans voices. I’m ashamed of what our law has become | Good Law Project The Supreme Court’s decision to exclude trans voices has harmed trans people – and harmed the fairness of their ruling.

In this piece, which I am proud of and I stand by every word, I make two serious criticisms of the procedure that the Supreme Court adopted.

Many Americans UNDER-estimate racial inequality in US (see work by @mwkraus.bsky.social @jaricheson.bsky.social et al)

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