Canceling Anti-Fat Medical Institutions (ft. Da'Shaun L. Harrison)
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.
