About this episode

In this second episode of the Searching for the Self in an Age of Simulation series, Stephen G. Adubato, host of Cracks in Postmodernity, joins Abigail Favale, professor at the McGrath Institute for Church Life, and Katherine Dee, internet subculture chronicler, to discuss the body positivity movement. 

What lies beneath the surface of the Body Positivity movement? How do societal standards shape our perceptions of beauty, and why are eating disorders so prevalent? Join Abigail Favale and Katherine Dee for an in-depth discussion on the origins and impact of eating disorders and the cultural forces that define beauty.
