PBS Program Name:
ARC 19/20 Discovery
Grant Program:
Discovery Early Career Researcher Award
Grant Activity:
Using feminist pedagogy to resist harmful messages of weight-loss dieting
Purpose:
This project aims to develop strategies to intervene in destructive weight-loss dieting norms aimed at women at a cultural level. Weight-loss dieting is a gateway to developing eating disorders; psychiatric conditions with a total socioeconomic cost of $69.7 billion in Australia and the highest mortality rate of all mental illnesses. This project uses feminist teaching methods to learn how to resist diet messages and create new messages to challenge their normalisation. The expected outcomes of this project are a novel non-diet framework and social movement to raise public awareness about the harms of dieting on physical and mental health.
