Course Description

This course examines how weight stigma impacts the health and nutrition of all types of people. Drawing on scientific research, students examine factors that influence how weight and health are perceived, how weight stigma impacts people across the lifecycle, and how marginalized people are at higher risk for being weight stigmatized. Using weight-inclusive tools, students challenge weight-centric approaches to health and demonstrate how they can be used to improve the health and wellbeing of any person no matter their size.
