AGENTS OF CHANGE: ADDRESSING WEIGHT STIGMA THROUGH ACTIVISM, EDUCATION, AND POLICY

April 29, 2016 - April 30, 2016

The 4th annual weight stigma conference is happening!

Despite the growth of weight stigma scholarship, weight-based oppression continues to be dominant within society, where thinness is privileged and fatness is oppressed. Given the harmful psychological and physiological consequences of weight stigma, exploring ways to change cultural attitudes and beliefs about body size is, therefore, evermore important. This year’s theme focuses on efforts, opportunities, and ideas for addressing weight stigma through activism, education, and policy.

The program is now available and registration is open. See attached for more info.
