Final year M.A. (Sociology)
student at Concordia University
in Montreal. My concentration is
in Sociology of Mental Health
(Eating Disorders-Anorexia). My
current research addresses biomedical and new public health
'risk' discourses from a feminist
poststructuralist standpoint.
Using a discourse analytic
approach, I am examining how
these dominant formations
discursively construct the
anorectic's 'illness' experience,
through an analysis of individual
narratives on pro-anorexic
websites.
