cpsylist: Please join my in congratulating Sammy Plezia

[Nichole Kelly]

Hi everyone,

Hope you all are having a nice weekend.

Please join me in congratulating Sammy Plezia, who just learned that her grant application, titled "Exploring the relationship between gender identity, culturally relevant gender roles, and body dissatisfaction among Goan adolescent girls: A qualitative investigation," was just selected for funding by the Center for the Study of Women in Society at the University of Oregon. Sammy will spend the summer in Goa, India, talking with adolescents about their experiences with body image. Ultimately, she hopes to use these data to develop a brief intervention to help reduce body dissatisfaction, a prominent risk factor for eating disorders. Adolescents and young adults in India have extremely high rates of body dissatisfaction; yet, they are woefully underrepresented in theoretical and clinical eating disorder research. Sammy's data will begin to fill these gaps, in ways that may have a substantial impact on the risk of youth in this country.

Congratulations, Sammy!
