284: The Weight Inclusive Thinking Project

1 hour 5 minutes

Luciana Zuest joins us to discuss two of her articles on the weight inclusive thinking project. We talk about the project and discuss strategies that aim to dismantle harmful weight-centric narratives and the development of body size diversity in physical activity settings. The first article titled Physical Education and the Quest for Relevance in the Age of Precarity: Lessons from the Weight Inclusive Thinking Project (WIT) was published in Quest. The second

article Creating Weight-Inclusive Climates in Fitness Spaces. Kinesiology Review was published with Saemi Lee, Juliana Leedeman, and Dawn

Clifford in the Journal Kinesiology Review.
