The Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, in collaboration with STRIPED, presents a virtual panel on Monday, November 2.

Join SBS and STRIPED for a virtual panel exploring looksmaxxing, young men’s mental and physical health, and the ways that appearance- and masculinity-related messaging on social media is used by commercial marketers and extremist recruiters alike to target young men. Hear how adolescent medicine physicians, mental health professionals, and community organizers are responding to these pressures.
