Geek Alert: New Fat Studies Papers

A new batch of papers has been published that may be of interest to Fat Studies scholars. Antipode: A Radical Journal of Geography 41(5) looks at critical geographies of fat/bigness/corpulence.

Academics can get the online version of the journal through their institutions, civilians can probably get inter-library loans. Drop me a line if you want to read this stuff and are having trouble accessing it.
