Such a strong essay. I noticed in my earliest RD student days the backseat and deferential position dietitians and nutrition counseling take in the healthcare world. You've connected so many of the dots. Thank you!
Hi from Australia! There are a small but growing number of dietitians in Australia talking about race and racism in dietetics - Peoples of Colour, Indigenous Peoples and allies.
I'd like to share this paper with you that I was part of writing, which aligns with your commentary about 'Wives' - yes, we're a profession dominated by white, middle class women who could access science education and work outside of domestic service; and the same is true in Australia!
Exploring the relevance of intersectionality in Australian dietetics: Issues of diversity and representation
