 Fatphobia: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Fight It

Fatphobia: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Fight It11:00AM-12:00PM June 14th, 2024

 
In this talk, Kate Manne will delve into the definition of fatphobia, how it is a systemic form of oppression, and how it intersects with many others--including racism, misogyny, classism, ableism, and transphobia. She will discuss the harms of fatphobia across multiple areas of life, and what we can do to combat it, including by seeking out better fat representation in literature and designing our world to accommodate people of every size.
