What’s Fat Got To Do With It?

The HUB Cultural Center

Exploring the pervasiveness of anti-fatness and how to confront it within ourselves and our systems.

This three-part discussion-based workshop series invites participants to consider what creating an equitable space for all bodies, especially fat bodies, looks like. Participants will learn about anti-fatness, anti-fatness’s connection to other forms of oppression, and how bias, stereotypes, and discrimination of fat people impact one’s self, interpersonal relationships, and systemic access and barriers. Participants are encouraged to attend as many sessions as they wish!

In the first session, key terms will be defined, stereotypes interrogated, and media critiqued. Participants will learn about different ways to approach a relationship with their bodies, beyond body positivity.
