PAGES Pod- Volume XV: Body Politics

PAGES the Reading Group presents Volume XV: Body Politics

What are body politics? How did you experience them growing up? Has this experience changed? How do body politics interact with fat phobia?

In this episode, @Nannearl_  and @Urfavfilosopher chop it up about body politics and fat phobia. Our hosts anchor their discussion in Sabrina Strings' work, "Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia" which you can find at the PAGES TRG Bookshop.

Also, we want to hear from you! Let us know what you think about body politics. What is your relationship to it? Has your relationship to your body changed over time? Get active in the comments or drop us a line to our email pagesthereadinggroup@gmail.com, with 'PAGES POD' in the subject line!
