Podcasts about black body the racial origins

Ozempic and other weight loss drugs have opened up a new conversation about our nation's obsession with thinness. This episode from 2022 delves into our nation's refusal to acknowledge that the ideal, at its core, is racist. How do we get beyond the belief that bigger Black bodies are a problem? And instead, allow ourselves, no matter what size, to take up space?GUESTS:Sabrina Strings, Ph.D., scholar and author of Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia.Carvell Wallace, author and memoirist.Mozell Ward, trainer at Radically Fit.INSTAGRAM:@carvell_wallaceLINKS:deartbt.comInstagram: deartbtTikTok: tonyatbtEmail: tonya@deartbt.com

So what happened to love? What's behind the growing trend of "situationships" and why has this scenario been made even more precarious for Black women and other women of color? For anyone who's been left wondering whether or not they are witnessing the collective collapse of traditional romantic love, sociologist Sabrina Strings has the answer– yes, they are, and the evidence is all around us.In THE END OF LOVE: Racism, Sexism, and the Death of Romance, Strings blends historical research, personal stories, and critical analysis of popular culture to trace the path that she believes has led to the demise of romantic partnerships, with an emphasis on how racism and anti-feminist ideology have been the driving force behind it. Sabrina Strings, professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will discuss: *How changes brought forward during the Civil Rights era resulted in Black men distancing themselves from Black and “insufficiently white” women and aligning themselves with white men in order to pursue a rise in personal status. *How men's media counseled its audience to be wary of women's intentions, narrowly selective in their choice of partners, or to avoid marriage all together. *The rise and fall of the Black is Beautiful movement.   *The problematic portrayal of Black women in popular culture. *How the widespread availability of porn online has influenced sexual relationships and men's expectations for partners. Sabrina Strings, PhD is professor and North Hall Chair of Black Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

E365 – "Inner Voice: A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan Zeine." In this episode, Dr. Foojan Zeine chats with Dr. Sabrina Strings, professor and North Hall Chair of Black Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her book, Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia, won the 2020 Body and Embodiment Best Publication Award given by the American Sociological Association and was an Honorable Mention in the 2020 Sociology of Sex and Gender Distinguished Book Award, provided by the American Sociological Association. Today, we will be talking about her latest book, "The End of Love – Racism, Sexism, and The Death of Romance." For more information, go to www.sabrinastrings.com 20 Best California Mental Health Podcasts https://podcasts.feedspot.com/california_mental_health_podcasts/ Check out my website: www.FoojanZeine.com, www.AwarenessIntegration.com, www.Foojan.com Summary: Dr. Foojan and Dr. Strings discussed her latest book, "The End of Love, Racism, Sexism, and the Death of Romance." They explored the concept of a "Situationship" and the historical and cultural context of romantic relationships, focusing on the Western world and the Middle East. They also discussed the evolution of courtship into romantic love, the role of gender and power dynamics in these relationships, and the prevalence of extramarital relationships. Dr. Strings explained that the idea of a "worthy" woman is used to justify the mistreatment of women who do not fit this ideal, particularly women of color who are seen as being of a lower status. They also discussed the changing dynamics between men and women as women have become more independent and the clash between traditional gender roles and the demand for gender equality. Dr. Foojan and Dr. Strings discussed the decline of traditional romantic love and courtship. They pointed out that the connection between romance and marriage is relatively recent, with arranged marriages by family being more prevalent in the past. They argued that other forms of love, such as self-love, family, and community love, are universal. Dr. Strings highlighted that love is about generosity, while romance can be selfish. They discussed the cultural aspects of relationships and family dynamics, focusing on the role of Black women and the experiences of Iranian women. They highlighted the resilience of Black women and the challenges they face, as well as the oppressive laws and practices towards women in various parts of the world, including Iran and India. They discussed the ongoing battle against sexism and the entrenchment of this issue in the law. They expressed their concerns about the future of women's rights, especially with the changing political landscape. They also discussed the significance of the representation of women, particularly women of color, in positions of power.

In today's episode Simone reflects on the relationships between racism, sexism (and other systems of oppression) and anti-fat bias. They begin by thinking about how the curves of people's bodies are seen and understood through a very racist lens, and how pregnant people are seen as if their bodies belong to the public. Situating all of this within histories of White Supremacy and how these prejudices become bureaucratic elements of policy and are enforced systemically.The rest of the episode is in conversation with the article "Weight based discrimination in the workplace is real. Here's why talking about it matters.” by Jordan Ziese: https://www.ywboston.org/weight-based-discrimination-in-the-workplace-is-real-heres-why-talking-about-it-matters/They go over the various work, movements and resources that have existed around combating anti-fat bias and some of the big issues within this such as the pernicious influence of the debunked measurement system BMI, and studies that show that fat people are paid less and discriminated against in other ways within the workplace.The episode ends with recommendations for employers in terms of how they deal with anti-fat bias in the workplace.Here are some resources mentioned:Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia by Sabrina Strings https://nyupress.org/9781479886753/fearing-the-black-body/Belly Of The Beast: The Politics Of Anti-Fatness As Anti-Blackness by Da'Shaun L.

Friends welcome to another episode of Thrive Beyond Size. Today's topic is so big that you'll hear from my guest twice. We're doing a two-parter, part one this week and part two next week. My guest is Angela Corry and she's a clinical and sexual health educator from right here in my hometown of Edmonton, Alberta. Angela and I are going to talk about pleasure at every size. Sex? Yes. Intimacy? Yes. But also just pleasure in general. Enjoying pleasure. For this conversation, we are really focusing on why women often don't feel deserving of pleasure which often stems from the fat-phobic society we live in. Men suffer from this too, of course, but women do more so and we're focusing on women in this episode. But why is fat our foe? And how can we see fat as just a fact of who we are and not what we deserve? Angela shares a bit about her personal journey and how she came to understand that her preconceived notions about sexuality and body image were entwined with mainstream society's views on “normal” health and size. That brought about a change in her and she has devoted herself to helping empower individuals to live authentically, accept size, and enhance sexual well-being ever since. Angela and I talk through the history of body image, tracing through changing eras from when fat was preferred in culture to where it shifted and thin became the overriding aesthetic focus. Angela shares a very personal and powerful story that illustrates how much work we each have to do to step out of society's viewpoint. When did we collectively stop viewing fat as just a body size and start seeing it as disgusting or something to avoid? And why do we allow our size to dictate our right to pleasure? These are questions we explore in this episode and Angela is so amazing, so insightful, that I can't wait for you to hear this episode and the next one with her.__About Angela Corry:Angela Corry, RN, BScN, ACCN, is a clinical educator and sexual health educator for Loving Choices in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Alberta, her Advanced Critical Care Nursing (ACCN) specialty from Mount Royal University and her certification in Holistic Sexual Health Education from the Institute of Sexuality Education and Enlightenment (ISEE). Angela has over 20 years of nursing experience in emergency and intensive care as a bedside and clinical nurse educator. During this time, she has contributed to several medical journals, including the Emergency Medical Journal. For the past two years, while focusing on health promotion and wellness, Angela realized that her pre-conceived notions about sexuality and body image were enmeshed with mainstream society's views on what is “normal,” “healthy,” or “feasible.” She believes it is necessary to reflect on the nature of sexuality and size diversity and how they fit and are used in our social, economic, and political structures. Angela wants to help empower individuals to live authentically by helping clients and professionals make choices that cultivate body positivity, accept size diversity and personal empowerment, enhance sexual well-being, celebrate the diversity of sexual expression, and promote equity for all within the current structures of our fat-phobic society.__Resources mentioned in this episode:“Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia” by Sabrina StringsNAAFA: National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance__Learn more about Angela Corry:Website: LovingChoicePsychology.caInstagramFacebookLearn more about Dr. Michelle Tubman and Wayza Health:Website: www.wayzahealth.comFollow me on Facebook and Instagram

We're back with the second half of our conversation with Tara Wike. (If you missed Part 1, you'll wanna circle back and start there). In the lead-in, Candice reads from listener comments & lays the foundation for Part 2. Picking up where we left off last week, Tara shares how changing her ‘visual diet' is expanding her definition of beauty; and also, the culty collateral damage done when we critique our bodies publicly. This leads into a discussion around mixed messages at ‘the Org' and how - despite loads of lip service - practitioners are in no way immune to the influence of diet culture; then Tara highlights how generational differences around body acceptance may be at play. The social determinants of health are discussed, as well as the danger of insisting that wellness is in all cases ‘an inside job' — especially when systemic barriers and biases are so prevalent. Tracy asks us to take a critical look at ‘emotional eating' — is this always a bad thing? (Spoiler: not so much.) And then Tara shares how recovery from a brain injury revealed to her the insidiousness of diet culture. We touch upon the body positivity and body neutrality movements, and then Tara shares how she's doing her part to try and shift attitudes within her own social spheres. This is an important episode in the series line-up; one that you won't want to miss!Tara Wike (she/her) is an American expat living in Denmark with her husband and son. She is a leader in the design organization at The LEGO Group, and moonlights teaching Org-inspired movement classes, having recently left the Org after decades of practice. In both work and private life, Tara is passionate about creating inclusive products and experiences. Her recent recovery from disordered eating has inspired her to actively support body diversity and fight anti-fat bias, both in fitness spaces and in the broader culture.LINKS:Dear Sugars Podcast | Ep: Trust Your Body with Dana Sturtevant & Hilary KinaveyMaintenance Phase Podcast w/ Aubrey Gordon & Michael HobbesDieting Does Not Work, UCLA Researchers ReportAubrey Gordon on WCDHT PodcastFood Psych Podcast w/ Christy HarrisonAlso referenced in this episode:Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia, book by Sabrina StringsAnti-Diet: Reclaim Your Time, Money, Well-Being, and Happiness Through Intuitive Eating, book by Christy HarrisonConspirituality: How New Age Conspiracy Theories Became a Health Threat, book by Derek Beres, Matthew Remski, & Julian WalkerThe Wellness Trap: Break Free from Diet Culture, Disinformation, and Dubious Diagnoses, and Find Your True Well-Being, book by Christy HarrisonSupport the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.

Le terme "obésité" vient du latin obedere, qui signifie "dévorer" ou "trop manger". Cette étymologie reflète déjà la stigmatisation associée à la suralimentation. Le développement de la grossophobie est complexe, mais il a des origines anciennes. Dans cet épisode, vous allez découvrir que le développement de la grossophobie est intimement lié à la religion, au colonialisme, au capitalisme et à une volonté de contrôle des populations par les élites.  Je vous souhaite une très bonne écoute.  Sources : Grossophobie, sociologie d'une discrimination invisible, Solenne Carof, éditions de la Maison des Sciences de l'Homme.  Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia, Sabrina Strings.

“How do we know this is about gender and not body image? Doesn't everyone feel uncomfortable in their body at that age?”I get these questions from parents all the time. And my answer is this: body image is about being dissatisfied with how we look along with unobtainable beauty standards. Body dysphoria is about the cues their body sends to the world about how to interact with and treat them, how that doesn't align with how they feel, and how it can make them feel invisible.It's similar, but also very, very different.Struggles with body image and with body dysphoria can lead cis and trans kids to patterns of disordered eating and disconnection from their bodies. Eating disorders are prevalent in the trans community because they are often a coping mechanism for the stress and stigma of being trans. Which is why I wanted to talk to today's guests, who are experts in eating disorders and whose treatment model, centered on trusting and coming home to the body, is so different from standard treatment modalities.Dana Sturtevant helps people let go of chronic patterns of dieting and disordered eating and move ​​into a more authentic, sustainable way to occupy and nurture their bodies. She advocates for food and body sovereignty as a nutrition therapist, educator, speaker, writer, and activist.Hilary Kinavey works with people to reckon with the vicious cycles of disordered eating and dieting, body shame and weight bias, and the fragmentation, oppression, and trauma that often sits at the center. As a licensed professional counselor, facilitator, educator, and coach, she sees that we have been separated from our embodied knowing of our value and wholeness.Together they founded the Center for Body Trust and co-authored the book Reclaiming Body Trust: a Path to Healing and Liberation.Check out the full episode to hear about:Why parents need to do their own work around rebuilding body trustHow to bring awareness and choice to body checking and comparison behaviorsHow our cultural beauty standards–for cis and trans people–are tied to white supremacySuggestions for supporting kids and framing the conversation when they're exposed to toxic body image messagesThree phases of repairing body trustWhy gender affirmation has to be the first step in building body trustFind out more about Dana Sturtevant and Hilary Kinavey:Center for Body TrustReclaiming Body Trust: A Path to Healing & LiberationFind out more about Mackenzie Dunham:Wildheartsociety.orgwildheartsociety.org/downloadsWild Heart Society on FacebookWild Heart Society on InstagramResources:Caleb LunaSand ChangFearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia, Sabrina StringsDesiree AdawayRagen ChastainGloria LucasMaintenance Phase

My guests today are Heather Bradford and Signey Olson, they are both midwives and researchers who focus much of their energy on the topic of weight bias among healthcare providers. Today's topic is one that many listeners are going to learn a lot from, both healthcare consumers AND providers. I learned so much from them myself. I came to this conversation prepared to challenge my own deeply held beliefs about health and wellness as it pertains to weight, weight bias, stigma and especially how it pertains to ideas around weight loss and Im so grateful for their time and willingness to share their perspectives and expertise.

TW: Body Dysmorphia + Disordered Eating My relationship to my body has been a lifelong uphill battle. There are so many moments in my life where I have just felt absolutely disconnected to what my body really looks like. After years and years and years of eating disorders and body dysmorphia, I have finally gotten to a place where I am happy with where I am. I fuel my body, I take care of it, and I have learned how to engage in the pursuit of acting without the toxic Hollywood ideal of becoming ever-thinner. This episode was immensely personal and vulnerable for me to share, especially as I look back on an article that dove into what 2017 Sam believed to be a healthy relationship with food. Let me know if this helped you in some way, and how you have learned to take care of yourselves and your body as an actor in this business.

We're baaaaaaack! We can barely record an episode of this podcast without a snack, so how are millions of people supposed to escape the "cult" of dieting when its mission is to keep everyone hungry, tired, and riddled with self-loathing? Let's count the red flags: a strictly controlled eating regimen, shame and peer pressure up the wazoo, false promises, hidden costs, viciously addictive cycles that offer no exit strategy... um, how is diet culture *not* a cult? In our highly requested relaunch episode, Amanda and Isa analyze the dangerous (and highly profitable) "cult" of dieting with special guest, actress and host of the I Weigh podcast, Jameela Jamil.

A recent headline declared "bye bye booty, heroin chic is back," referring to a fashion look in the 1990s and 2000s that glorified women with ultra-thin figures. But the backlash to the headlines from people recalling how this trend harmed their relationships with food and their bodies, shows that plenty of people are not interested in going back. So what really makes a "trend" go in and out of fashion?  Professor Sabrina Strings says that while we may have had a few years in which having curves was considered fashionable, the thin ideal has never truly gone "out" of style. It's older than America itself — but just like America, it's rooted in racist hierarchies.  Professor Strings is an associate professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine and author of "Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia."

In this episode, I am joined by Kalpana Mohanty, writer, Ph.D. Candidate and Trudeau Scholar at Harvard University. She works on disability, colonialism, and gender in South Asia. Kalpana grew up in Portugal, Canada and India. Her proposed PhD topic focuses on the history of disability in India, particularly during high colonialism. Inspired by her own lived experience as someone with chronic illness who lives with a disability, Kalpana is passionate about accessibility in all forms, whether that be making academic spaces accessible for all students or making scholarly work engaging and interesting for a non-academic audience. She is committed to using the rigorous framework and theory of academia to address wider cultural issues ranging from the serious to the trivial as a cultural commentator. Kalpana reads and we discuss her incredible article, Beautiful Lies, where she asks why public discourse on beauty remains so shallow. Kalpana's Links:Twitter:  @kalpanamohantyWebsite: https://kalpanamohanty.squarespace.com/ Audio clips included: Now This News: Sabrina Strings Explains How 'Fatphobia' is Rooted in RacismIntersections of Disability Justice and Transformative Justice Ft.

She is the owner of Scottsdale Premier Counseling and specializes in the treatment of body image, eating disorders, relationships, sexual health, and grief. Her mission is to break through the mental health shame game. Dr. Morgan is a mother to three children and resides in Scottsdale, Arizona with her husband of eleven years. Dr. Morgan shares the story of her brother's tragic death at just 20 years old and how grieving his loss impacts her life and the work she does today. We also talk about body grief, self-compassion, what we can do to break food and body cycles for our kids, how we unpack the feelings that are beneath our desire to be thin.  “If we really want to help our children, we have to start with ourselves.

Central to her work is exposing how racism and capitalism generate conditions that shame fat people about their bodies.

 In this Part 2 episode of Where The Crawdads Sing, Lisa, and her guest Jennifer Byrd have an insightful conversation delving into the book's second part. There will be significant spoilers for the book. Lisa is releasing this revisited episode on July 13, 2022 - the day the movie of Where the Crawdads Sing will be released. Lisa and Jennifer discussed 2019 piece in Slate, titled “The Dark History Behind the Year's Bestselling Debut Novel.” The piece discusses how a long-ago murder in Africa influenced Delia Owens' book. Delia Owens is not a suspect in that case. However, her stepson Christopher and her ex-husband were implicated by some witnesses and this event was the subject of “The Haunted,” an article by Jeffrey Goldberg and published in the New Yorker.Books Discussed:Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia by Sabrina StringsWhat We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat by Aubrey GordonStarfish by Lisa FippsNothing To See Here by Kevin WilsonThe Boy Who Was Raised As a Dog by Bruce Perry*The book titles mentioned include affiliate links.

Let's talk food...specifically your personal relationship with food & what does that relationship currently consists of. And this is much deeper than just weight loss, counting calories, the numbers on the scale, eating healthier, what to eat/what not to eat, and working out. This is more about identifying and being aware of our behaviors, perceptions, triggers, emotions and mindsets around food. From our upbringing, to our culture, to even our personal life experiences as well as our relationship trauma, these influences have made a massive impact on our current relationship with food. And even though food is indeed a need in all of our lives what's most important is having a peaceful relationship around food that will enhance our wellbeing being and quality of life. On this week's episode, I invited Licensed Psychologist and Food Relationship Strategist, Dr. Ebony Butler to come and have a much needed discussion around our relationship with food. Join us as she discusses the impact that diet culture has on the body, relationship trauma and it's connection with food, why “loving” yourself may still be challenging, as well as tangible steps that a person can do to improve their relationship with food and unlearn diet culture.

Our nation's obsession with thinness refuses to acknowledge that the ideal, at its core, is racist. How do we get beyond the belief that bigger Black bodies are a problem? And instead, allow ourselves, no matter what size, to take up space?

There's a commonly held belief that Black folks are thicker, bigger, and carry more fat than others…but where did this idea that our bodies only look a certain way come from? Join us as we disentangle fact from oftentimes fat-phobic fiction when it comes to assumptions about how our bodies are shaped. . In our Season 2 finale, "Baby Got Black", we dissect whether here is a genetic difference between the body shape of Black folks compared to other populations. Black women and men have consistently been exoticisized for their unique body features. We explore the genetics behind this starting with a publication by Dr. Jeff on the genetics of body shape and tell the historical stories behind Venus Hottentot (Sarah Baartman). . In Those Genes is an educational podcast that contains explicit language that might be difficult for some to hear. No worries, we got you!

This week, jh and Tre'vell invite filmmaker Amber J. Phillips, and author Da'Shaun L. Harrison (Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness) to the show for a conversation about fatphobia (read: jh's fatphobia). Regular listeners may recall jh's response to an email calling him out for expressing satisfaction that his beard hid his “double chin”. The critique was that “double chin” was code for fat, and that jh's fatphobia was showing. Amber and Da'Shaun were both given permission to drag jh, so that he, and FANTI listeners, can confront their own fatphobia, which is Anti-Black as well.
