Learn how anti-fat bias, weight stigma, and fatphobia show up in P-12 educational spaces and how that bias impacts the learners, educators, and communities where it happens.
In this important book, author Cait O'Connor reveals common problems with anti-fatness toward students in the classroom, in the curriculum, across subject areas, in the cafeteria, and after school. She also discusses anti-fatness toward teachers and staff. Throughout, she helps educators reflect on these issues and offers concrete solutions and equity fixes.
No matter what grade or subject you teach, you will benefit from the book's insightful research and practical strategies, and you'll come away prepared to help create a more equitable, stigma-free learning environment for all constituents.
Cait O’Connor (@JustTeachingELA) is an eighth-grade English/ENL teacher in Larchmont, New York. She is also a middle school American Sign Language Club advisor, mental health peer advocate, and an advocate for LGBTQIA+ youth, size inclusivity, peer-community engagement, and disability justice.
