112: Zali Yager’s Appearance Matters 11 Keynote

Welcome back to Appearance Matters: The Podcast. Earlier this year, we spoke with Dr Zali Yager ahead of her keynote at Appearance Matters 11, where she shared insights into her career, the Embrace Collective, and the themes she would be exploring at the conference. In this special episode, we’re delighted to bring you Zali’s keynote presentation, recorded live at Appearance Matters 11 in Bristol. Drawing on her extensive experience in body image research, health promotion, and community partnerships, Zali explores how researchers, practitioners, and communities can work together to create meaningful, sustainable change. Her keynote reflects on the importance of collaboration, translating research into practice, and reimagining the future of body image research.
