Expertise

My research interest lies in the cross-cultural manifestation and experience of body image and body image disorders.

My research focuses on cultural models of ideal bodies, body image, eating disorders, and gender. Particularly, I am interested in the relationships between masculinities, body ideals, body practices, mental health, and culture. 

I am interested in studying body image and body image disorders in men, and eventually men in minority groups as well.
