February 25, 2025 (online): I delivered a talk as part of Korea’s Eating Disorders Awareness Week, hosted by the Rabbits in Submarines Collective, a survivor-led organization (check out their YouTube channel and Instagram account). As one organizer writes, “The name refers to a misquoted story from the Soviet era, where baby rabbits were supposedly used in submarines to detect danger, similar to how canaries were used in coal mines. We aim to highlight that people with lived experience of eating disorders aren’t just individuals with deficits—they are often the first to sense societal crises through their own bodies. Our goal is to make our voices heard and challenge societal issues, beyond just seeking treatment in the medical sense.”
