On November 17, join Afro-futurist Stephanie Chrismon to better understand anti-fat bias within healthcare, from a race and gender-based intersectional approach.

We call "obesity" a public health crisis but how do we address disordered eating without fat-shaming or disrespecting food traditions within diverse communities? How do we show up as caring professionals and still work with diverse communities on the joy of “ordered” eating?

In this session, participants will explore how to support a system that empowers people towards wellbeing, instead of promoting a lack of care for larger bodies.

This session is presented as part of U of T Sport & Rec's annual Diversity & Equity Conference.
