This book offers cutting-edge, intersectional, and
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
interactions both at an institutional and interpersonal level,
impacting the lived experiences of fat people. Each chapter has
been carefully selected to create a space to showcase the engaging
intersectional and interdisciplinary fat studies scholarship that
is taking place globally. This engaging book will take the reader
around the world by examining: weight-loss classes in Ireland,
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
Weight and Society.
