Dear all,
We have had a few problems with our website this week. It should be back up and running by tomorrow. For those who have had troubles signing up to the opening event of our new autumn series, you will find link that works in the blurb below.
Monday Event: 11am PT/2pm ET/7pm UK
“On Fatphobia”: Kate Manne in conversation with Urja Lakhani
Part memoir, part polemic, and part philosophical analysis, Kate Manne’s new book, Unshrinking, shows why fatphobia has become a vital social justice issue. Over the last several decades, implicit bias has waned in every category, from race to sexual orientation, except one: body size. In this event, Manne will discuss how anti-fatness operates: how it leads us to make devastating assumptions about a person’s character, attractiveness, health, and intellect, and how it intersects with other systems of oppression.
