Navigating masculinity norms with Tom Scully

Tom Scully on navigating masculinity norms & gender narratives in dietetics and more deeply understanding cultural competence. ​

Here Tom and Fi discuss:

• Relocating to Geelong from Melbourne
• His journey to dietetics, finding the non-diet/HAES approach and starting a private practice.
• Working with men in fertility health; the importance of reducing shame and holding a safe space for sharing.
• Navigating masculinity norms with clients.
• Narratives and gender in dietetics.
• What our profession understands about cultural competence, what it doesn’t and how we can improve.
• What’s holding us back as dietitians/professionals in this space?
• How dietetic education could be improved overall and how we can set up conversations with students.
• How we can begin to speak out more and push back.
