More than the mirror

February 25, 2014 by Leave a Comment

mirrorThis week is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week and counseling services will be offering a workshop on improving body image this Thursday, Feb. 27, at 12-1 p.m. in the PUB Quiet Dining Room.  Below are a few astounding statistics, and resources regarding college students and Eating Disorders:

Eating Disorders and Body Image concerns are highly relevant for the college population! Did you know:

  • The rate of eating disorders among college students has risen to 10 to 20 percent of women and 4 to 10 percent of men (NEDA, 2013).
  • Full-blown eating disorders typically begin between 18 and 21 years of age (Hudson, 2007).
  • 35 percent of “normal” dieters progress to pathological dieting. Of those, 20-25 percent progress to partial or full-syndrome eating disorders (Shisslak & Crago, 1995).
  • Eating disorders are the mental illness with the highest mortality rate (Arcelus, 2011).
  • Help-seeking decreases significantly when people are not aware of the options available to them (Ben-Porath, 2002; Friedman, 2009; Nolen-Hoeksema, 2006; Gould, 2007).

Please know that help is available!

Tibet Beyond Black and White

February 25, 2014 by Leave a Comment

tibetThe Multicultural Symposium Series continues with Dr. Michelle Kleisath (Equity and Social Justice faculty at Shoreline) and has a focus on race and white privilege. The discussion will focus on Tibet and China and white privilege in Asia today. Will take place in room 1402 and starts at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 27.

Here, we will expand conversations about Tibet beyond the figurative “black and white” framework of Tibetan versus Han Chinese, and complicate the issue of White privilege beyond the “Black and White” binary that often constricts discussions of race in the United States. Participants will learn how Whiteness matters differently in Tibet, greater China, and the United States and gain familiarity with the sociohistorical racial projects that shape White privilege in Asia today.
