PHE 323U Body Liberation for Health

This course will use a social justice and critical pedagogy approach to examine the impacts of weight bias (sizeism) on individuals and society. We will center the voices and experiences of those living in larger bodies and use an intersectional lens to analyze how we can effectively impact social determinants of health and well-being. Current innovative challenges to the weight bias paradigm will be explored along with ways that students can participate in this emerging movement.
