My project will examine eating anxieties on college campuses, specifically at a small school where eating spaces are hyper-social locations. I am looking at how eating amongst peers acts as a social and in some instances, anxiety producing activity for students who deal with eating anxieties and disorders. My primary focus is looking at how space influences the eating habits, practices and anxieties of students.
I am hoping that this project will vocalize the universal yet unspoken anxieties that surround eating on this campus, and provide some sense of solidarity amongst students who are dealing with an unhealthy relationship to the ways in which they consume food.
