Rates of childhood obesity rose significantly throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s, prompting declarations of an "obesity epidemic" among children. At the same time, social media has become a fundamental piece of children's social worlds in the last two decades. Research finds that both obesity rhetoric and the use of social media may lead to increased antifat bias and body dissatisfaction among children. Given the potential for harm, scholars have typically studied both the obesity epidemic and social media using a social problems perspective and therefore lack insights from children themselves. Using the framework of the paradigm of the new sociology of childhood, this dissertation explores how children themselves understand the cultural and social influences that affect their body image development and ideas about health. To do so, I use a unique combination of qualitative methods including photovoice, focus groups, and interviews to conduct research with children ages 8-12. By using this particular combination of methods and interacting with children multiple times and in a range of contexts, my research led to important insights that might not have been uncovered had I not used a truly participant-led methodology.My study has several main findings. First, I examine how children understand the dominant health ideology of healthism, showing how they reconstruct this ideology within their own children's culture. I build upon previous studies of healthism by demonstrating that for the children in my study, health concerns for health's sake are secondary to achieving health in order to avoid stigma from their peers. I also find that social media has become an additional agent of gender socialization, with children learning how to "do" their gender through social media archetypes of hegemonic masculinity and emphasized femininity. Ultimately, this dissertation shows that children are social actors with insights and motivations independent from the adults in their lives. By conducting research with children, rather than research on or for children, I am able to examine how children interpret, construct, and create meanings of what it means to be healthy and having a "good" body.
