fat oppression. The editors invite papers on a variety of topics that address,
for example, fatness as a dimension of inequality (e.g. discrimination in jobs,
education, and public spaces) that intersects with other inequalities (race,
class, gender, ability, sexuality, etc.), the theorizing of fat/fatness or
“obesity” as deviant and the consequences on the physical/mental health of fat
people, and violence against fat people.<span></span></span></p>
