"It's an Acceptable Identity": Constructing "Girl" at the Intersections of Health, Media, and Meaning-Making
Little, J. Nicole; Hoskins, Marie L.
Child & Youth Services, v26 n2 p75-93 2004
This article explores the authors' critical reflections that arose while engaging in research with girls recovering from an eating disorder. The authors address issues related to media, consumerism, and identity construction. They emphasize that while there are no clear solutions to dilemmas facing girls in North American culture, researchers and practitioners can co-create space with girls where gendered issues are made explicit. Their holistic framework for working with girls does not imply a neutral approach; rather, they aim to honor the complexity of gendered narratives and critically reflect on their implications for practice. (Contains 5 notes.)
