Weight stigma is so pervasive in our culture that it is often
unnoticed, along with the harm that it causes. Health care is rife
with anti-fat bias and discrimination against fat people, which
compromises care and influences the training of new practitioners.
This book explores how this happens and how we can change it. This
interdisciplinary volume is grounded in a framework that challenges
the dominant discourse that health in fat individuals must be
improved through weight loss. The first part explores the negative
impacts of bias, discrimination, and other harms by health care
providers against fat individuals. The second part addresses how we
can 'fatten' pedagogy for current and future health care providers,
discussing how we can address anti-fat bias in education for health
professionals and how alternative frameworks, such as Health at
Every Size, can be successfully incorporated into training so that
health outcomes for fat people improve. Examining what works and
what fails in teaching health care providers to truly care for the
health of fat individuals without further stigmatizing them or
harming them, this book is for scholars and practitioners with an
interest in fat studies and health education from a range of
backgrounds, including medicine, nursing, social work, nutrition,
physiotherapy, psychology, sociology, education and gender studies.
