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. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

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.

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. (1/3)
