About Leviana, Ashlee, JJ, Caitlin, Megan
We are a group of fourth-year students in the Media Studies program at the University of Guelph-Humber who have spent the semester researching males and body image as well as males and eating disorders. The aim for this project is to answer questions regarding this extremely under-researched issue. Eating disorders, like anorexia and bulimia, are often associated with females. It is a popular belief that young women are the ONLY ones who suffer from these disorders; but this is incorrect. Ten per cent of all reported cases of people who are, or have been, affected by an eating disorder, are male. Join us in an attempt to understand why males aren't often associated with eating disorders and misconceptions of body image.
