NUT 3101Body Image:Concepts & Approach

Catalog

Pre-requisite(s): ENG 1010 or ENG 1009 with C- or above. General Studies: Social & Behavioral Sciences Body image concerns too often inhibit women's, men’s, and non-binary people’s health and productivity. Like any challenge, these also hold potential for stimulating personal and civic transformation. In this course, students from all backgrounds explore the genetic, developmental, social, cultural, technological, and geopolitical factors affecting perceptions of healthy weight, size, and body image. They engage with evidence-based behavior change theories, strategies, and activities. These expand their capacity for promoting healthy behaviors and productive perspectives in diverse settings including families, schools, sports, college, workplaces, healthcare, social media, and other types of communities.
