About Us

Welcome to the class blog for Dr. Watkin's WS499: Women, Weight, & Eating Disorders! Throughout this term, we will be exploring our culture's obsession with thinness and its effect on girls and women both physically and emotionally. We will be reacting to readings and videos from class as well as information from youtube, blogs, and other forms of media. We will discuss everything from pop culture to eating disorders and fat acceptance as we learn through discussion and experience.

Join with us in this learning process, but please, keep it respectful. This is a feminist community that values differing opinions and open discussion, but not personal attacks or offensive language. Spammers/trolls will be deleted and banned, but all others are welcome and appreciated.
