Text reads: Venue: The University of Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom When: Monday 10th July 2023 Abstract Submission Deadline: 1st March 2023 Contact Gemma Gibson ([email protected]) Carlie Pendleton ([email protected]) Twitter: @FatAcrossTime We are excited to invite abstracts for papers and presentations for the FAT (Fat Across Time) Conference at The University of Sheffield. By definition Fat Studies includes anyone who studies fatness, therefore, while we expect to receive abstracts from academics we also encourage submissions from activists, artists, journalists and other professionals in any discipline related to fat. Fat Studies is an interdisciplinary field that prioritises the experiences of people in fat bodies and the worlds, societies and cultures they live in. Fat Studies scholars reject the pathologization of fatness and seek to find alternative discourses around fat that centre social justice. ALT TEXT CONTINUED ON NEXT PIC
