interdisciplinary research in the blossoming field of fat studies.
The aim is to generate discussion about the complexity of fat
oppression as a phenomenon and social force that permeates

Jamaican women’s views of health and fatness, the difficulties of
immigrating while fat to New Zealand, fat activism in Finnish
media, being fat and pregnant in Australia, a girls' camp in the
United States, and the experiences of fat hatred felt by queer fat
women in Canada. This book will inspire fat-studies scholars
globally to incorporate intersectional approaches and qualitative
methods in future work. The chapters in this book were originally
published in Fat Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body
