Upcoming Event: Your Fat Friend Film Screening – Tuesday, November 18 5:30-7:30pm
We hope that you will consider joining the Women, Gender and Health (WGH) Concentration, Strategic Training Initiative for the Prevention of Eating Disorders (STRIPED), and the Department of Nutrition for a screening of the documentary “Your Fat Friend” by director Jeanie Finlay. Shot over six years, the film charts the rise of author, podcaster and activist Aubrey Gordon, who goes from being an anonymous blogger to becoming a NYTimes best seller author and beloved podcaster with an audience of millions. Her aim? A paradigm shift in the way that we view fat people and the fat on our own bodies. It’s a film about fatness, family, the complexities of change and the messy feelings we hold about our bodies.
A discussion moderated by Prof. Bryn Austin and Dr. Ariel Beccia, both WGH faculty members also affiliated with the Strategic Training Initiative for the Prevention of Eating Disorders at Harvard, will follow. This will be the third of the monthly WGH Fall screenings themed “Gender is real, complex, and everywhere! — health justice, resistance, and public health.” Refreshments will be provided.
This event is sponsored by the Women, Gender and Health (WGH) Concentration and co-sponsored by STRIPED. Registration required, please register here. View the event poster:
