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

 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 final session, the focus will be on institutional and systemic anti-fatness in the medical industry, education, employment, and more. Participants will get to learn skills and techniques to become better friends and advocates for fat people.
