Melisa Salazar of @advd_verband : Weight discrimination rarely shows up in official statistics because it isn't measured. ADDA ChatBot project designed to change that https://t.co/152dxesCWT #wsc8
Why we founded the Interdisciplinary Association for Equity in Health in Denmark @bols_di and @meyerlene #wsc8
Being limited to small-scale student projects can be frustrating, but these experiences produce students who go out and start asking very awkward questions in their new institutions. This is progress. @lilyohara #wsc8
Mäks Roßmöller: So many ways that research measures embodiment are very disembodying #wsc8
Even a brief HAES-informed intervention can deliver improvements in embodiment and self-compassion, maintained at 4 weeks @lilyohara @qataruniversity #wsc8 https://t.co/sclSxk8FLY
So great that we have exported our fatphobia all over the world. WTG us. @lilyohara @qataruniversity on #weightstigma and #internalised WS in the Arab region #wsc8
Fat activist and scholar @gordazine @UBAonline on the influence of trans activism on Argentinian demands for fat depathologisation #wsc8
Final session of #wsc8: Activism and interventions @gordazine @lilyohara @meyerlene @bols_di @advd_verband @carliegem89
Flying in from London specially, Katherine @CeriseFlegal @stanford on the fascinating and really very clever construction of the ‘obesity epidemic’ by #BigPharma #wsc8
@StephanievonLi1 @kimberlydark - is it publishers who are driving the market for redemption? Self: Yes, but people want this. They want to be 'saved' by self-transformation (of their bodies). #wsc8
Extent to which protestantism shapes how people construct their sense of self in fairly invisible and unmarked ways. Both narratives boil down to a binary of who is saved/one of the chose/redeemed and who is still a sinner: Kathleen Self @StLawrenceU #wsc8
Religion, morality, and sin. Comparing conversion narratives with weight loss redemption memoirs Kathleen M Self @StLawrenceU #wsc8
Weight-centric medical curriculum horrific for fat medical students https://t.co/hMVlFKKL0w @izzylomax https://t.co/1B1QedPC9s @drameadows @SeanMPhelan1 Baretto Dovidio @saraemilyburke Wittlin Herrin @van_ryn #wsc8 2/2
So many research scales measuring anti-fat attitudes are a litany of fatphobic remarks that people can choose to disagree with if they want. Cain's Fat Attitudes Assessment Toolkit takes opposite approach. We don't need to be part of the problem. https://t.co/H3cR11PHSk #wsc8
Weight-centric medical curriculum challenging for students aware of social justice. Gershfeld & Grady @QuinnipiacU #wsc8 1/2
So many people still believe science in unbiased and medicine is a science. Any system built by people comes from some form of positionality. Gershfeld & Grady @QuinnipiacU #wsc8
