Listen now
Description
Our guest this week is Dr Nadia Craddock. Body image researcher at the Centre for Appearance Research at the University of West England, Nadia has expertise in numerous facets of body image, including eating disorders, colourism, fashion warning labels, and so much more. With her PhD focused on body size representation in fashion, advertising and beauty, Nadia is a go-to expert in the area of body image and Corporate Social Responsibility, and is passionate about developing a society where we can all live happier, healthier lives, free of body image anxiety and obsession. From her work developing and implementing body image programmes with the World Association Of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts, to collaborating with the Dove Self-Esteem Project and UNICEF on body image curriculum in Indonesia, Nadia gives us a whistle-stop tour of her amazing work in the body image space.  We talk about her involvement in last year's open letter to the UK Government on addressing weight stigma on public policy, and Nadia shares with us her reflections on April's Women and Equalities Committee's body image public inquiry report, which she and her colleagues contributed to, on behalf of the Centre of Appearance Research . Nadia also shares some interesting insights from her PhD, and we talk about the role of the fashion, advertising and beauty industries in developing positive body image at a societal level.
