Canceling Anti-Fat Medical Institutions (ft. Da'Shaun L. Harrison)
Manage episode 357489442 series 2864752
Recent guidance has come out recommending children have surgery or go on drugs to lose weight. Why is this a problem and what's the history behind anti-fat politics in America? Katelyn and Oliver sit down with writer, journalist and theorist Da'Shaun Harrison to explore these questions and learn about how anti-fatness is rooted in and inextricable from anti-blackness. Da'Shaun is the author of Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-fatness as Anti-Blackness and Editor-at-Large of Scalawag Magazine.
A very special thanks to our Cancellation List and above Patreons Megg, Catherine, Dahlia, I Beauregard, Leslie, Adrienne, Diego, Mae and Siobhan for making this episode possible.
