Oppressed groups frequently face difficulty identifying and retrieving information to counter the dominant narratives about their lives. Using the example of people living in larger bodies, this session will explain how fat studies opposes the medicalization of the lived experience of fat people, where fat studies literature is published and indexed and what paradigms exist in the literature. The research skills used in this example can enhance any searches on topics of oppression.
