Emma is an eating disorders researcher and activist and Masters student at University College London (UCL) in Health Humanities. Emma researches eating disorders from a feminist, sociocultural and social-justice oriented perspective, and she is particularly interested in exploring how biological, psychological, environmental and sociocultural factors interact and intersect to uniquely shape people’s experiences of the world, their bodies and their interactions with food. Emma’s interest in eating disorders is at once academic and personal as she was personally affected by anorexia as a teenager, and her experiences of receiving inpatient treatment and navigating recovery have informed and motivated her work in the area. Emma is ambitious about creating change in the field of eating disorders treatment and research and hopes to undertake a PhD and pursue an academic career whilst also engaging in eating disorders advocacy and activism.
