Abstract

ABSTRACT Fat studies has produced tremendous theoretical contributions that upend hegemonic discourses posing fatness as a social problem. In spite of some key contributions, food and environmental justice literatures both have been slow to fully integrate fat studies perspectives into the study of food and environments. This paper seeks a more systematic integration of fat insights within both literatures, offering several points of departure based on existing thematic convergences. This discussion serves to establish a research agenda for scholars of critical food studies and environmental justice for transforming the existing sluggishness into a systematic treatment of the role of anti-fat discourses and structures in food and environmental systems.
