SUMMARY:Addressing anti-fat stigma in physiotherapy
DESCRIPTION:As physiotherapists, promoting physical activity is core to much of our work. Yet physical activity is deeply tied up in the beliefs that underpin anti-fat stigma. These beliefs include the assumption that body weight and composition is a straightforward reflection of lifestyle, and that all bodies can be safely made thin through disciplined eating and exercise. This seminar will introduce anti-fat stigma, why it matters in physiotherapy, and discuss strategies to disrupt anti-fat stigma in practice. Dr Patty ThilleDr Thille uses social scientific theories and qualitative methodologies to study how we deliver health services and educate health professionals. A core emphasis of her work is addressing inequities - avoidable disparities in health that exist due to stigmatization and discriminatory practices and policies. Her focus is on primary care, rehabilitative practice, and chronic disease management.
