Over the past decade, concerns about a global "obesity epidemic"
have flourished. Public health messages around physical activity,
fitness, and nutrition permeate society despite significant
evidence disputing the "facts" we have come to believe about
"obesity". We live in a culture that privileges thinness and
enables weight-based oppression, often expressed as fat phobia and
fat bullying. New interdisciplinary fields that problematize
"obesity" have emerged, including critical obesity studies,
critical weight studies, and fat studies. There also is a small but
growing literature examining weight-based oppression in educational
settings in what has come to be called "fat pedagogy". The very
first book of its kind, The Fat Pedagogy Reader brings together an
international, interdisciplinary roster of respected authors who
share heartfelt stories of oppression, privilege, resistance, and
action; fascinating descriptions of empirical research;
confessional tales of pedagogical (mis)adventures; and diverse
accounts of educational interventions that show promise. Taken
together, the authors illuminate both possibilities and pitfalls
for fat pedagogy that will be of interest to scholars, educators,
and social justice activists. Concluding with a fat pedagogy
manifesto, the book lays a solid foundation for this important and
exciting new field. This book could be adopted in courses in fat
studies, critical weight studies, bodies and embodiment, fat
pedagogy, feminist pedagogy, gender and education, critical
pedagogy, social justice education, and diversity in education.
