Panel: This is What a Fat Activist Does

I'm chairing a panel at this weekend's Women of the World festival at the Southbank Centre in London on Sunday afternoon.

Fat people are typically constructed in the public eye as a dehumanised and abstract population called 'the Obese'. This panel recognises that not only are we human and real, but also that we have agency and community.

In This is What a Fat Activist Does Rita Keegan, Kirsty Fife, Kay Hyatt and Kathryn Szrodecki will be talking about what fat activism might look like and sharing some of the things that fat activists actually do.

This is a ticketed event, details are on the WOW festival site.

This is What a Fat Activist Does
Sunday 9 March, 3 – 4pm
Weston Pavilion at Royal Festival Hall, South Bank, London
