I'm Still Not Tired - Larkin Callaghan

Larkin Callaghan recently completed her doctorate in health behavior and public health education at Columbia, focusing on women's health and global health development. With research and program experience in HIV and sexual health, social network building, trauma and violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and how socioeconomic status and history of abuse contribute to health and social mobility, she specializes in women's and adolescent health, population health, communication and social marketing and the health of vulnerable populations - and how they relate to one another. She also works as a UN Correspondent for MediaGlobal, covering issues affecting the least developed countries, with a not-exclusive focus on global health. She posts about public health, sociology and social justice, human rights, research, and gender. She manages the Reproductive Health Daily Tumblr and is a fellow in Health Communication and Epidemiology at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health, where she writes and uses social and new media to promote research that focuses on health disparities, access and rights. She’s an avid runner and a California loyalist, and also posts longer opinion pieces on I'm Not Tired Yet at https://larkincallaghan.wordpress.com/.

…for making sure I didn’t actually take a few days off this holiday week!

What a charming little undergarment you were planning on selling to the masses this Black Friday:

Every 7 year-old girl needs a thong (like, I could end the sentence there!), that also broadcasts to the world that they’re diggin’ for gold before they’re even old enough to have a checking account of their own!

The perfect holiday gift for your first grader. The message that baring their buns will be rewarded with a wealthy partner. Cheers!

I am thrilled to now be a regular contributor to About Face. This non-profit organization educates and equips women and girls with the tools to critically analyze media messages that are directed at them and can affect their self-esteem and body image. They offer media literacy workshops, are designing a curriculum, and have action groups that allow girls to become engaged in developing their media literacy.

Check out my first post, about Kellogg’s “Special K Challenge” and how it is a thinly veiled campaign that supports a fasting mindset contributing to disordered perceptions of what a healthy nutritious diet truly is.

Unless you count social-climbing, that is. Would you like an avatar for that?
