A Chair Is Still a Chair

Abstract

Through this study researchers explore the photos, narratives, and overall experiences of 11 fat college students with physical campus environments. Using a blended approach to combine a fat studies framework, campus ecology, and the concept of body terrorism, we unearth the difficulty students have in these environments. We offer our perspectives and experience of departures in photovoice research through our attempt at a power-conscious collaborative photovoice approach. Findings include significant impacts on physical health, mental health, and safety of fat college students, manifesting as a form of body terrorism.
