Katya's research builds on previous research into the eating disordered body online. Looking to understand eating disordered communities, including those termed 'pro-anorexic', her research will employ anthropological methods to explore, map and explain the dynamics of these groups and online platforms. More widely, she'll explore how women's bodies are regulated and censored online, and how the existence of the internet, as a place for eating disorders to be expressed and experienced, may affect the way an eating disorder is experienced offline.This new research will also develop a model previously constructed by the researcher to explain the 'pro-ana paradox'. The model has served to illustrate the contradictions represented by both prior research and members of the eating disordered communities: the enforced but flawed biomedical model, subverted yet revered by community members; the conflation of weight and wellness; female empowerment through reclaiming the body, if only to destroy it; and the embodiment of anorexia in a disembodied (online) space.

Katya的研究建立在之前对饮食失调身体的在线研究基础上。为了了解饮食失调的社区，包括那些被称为“亲厌食症”的社区，她的研究将采用人类学方法来探索，绘制和解释这些群体和在线平台的动态。更广泛地说，她将探索女性的身体是如何在网上受到监管和审查的，以及互联网的存在，作为一个表达和体验饮食失调的地方，如何影响饮食失调的离线体验。这项新研究还将开发一个由研究人员先前构建的模型，以解释“支持厌食悖论”。该模型用来说明先前的研究和饮食失调社区成员所代表的矛盾：强制但有缺陷的生物医学模型，被社区成员颠覆但崇敬;体重和健康的混淆;通过回收身体赋予女性权力，如果只是为了摧毁它;以及厌食症在一个无形的（在线）空间中的体现。
