Publication alert 🚨
I learnt so much from this beautiful @SocioHealthLab project and fantastic team working as an RA! Thinking about whiteness, mental health services, CALD communities, and emotions was humbling - to say the least.
It’s OA btw :)

Fantastic new article from @gemma_nourse. Her highly innovative research examines the relationship between gender and notions of optimisation as they take shape in health promotion materials on performance and image-enhancing drugs.
30 Jan 2024
Read the DruGS team's latest article, drawn from @gemma_nourse's PhD thesis on performance and image-enhancing drugs (PIEDs). It examines health promotion materials on PIEDs, arguing that conceptions of health and masculinity are being refigured through men's use of these drugs.
