This course will provide an introduction to an emerging academic field, Fat Studies. By drawing from historical, cultural and social texts, Fat Studies explores the meaning of fatness within the  7 U.S. and also from comparative global perspectives. In this class you will examine the development of fat stigma and the ways it intersects with gendered, racial, ethnic and class constructions. Not a biomedical study of the “obesity epidemic,” this course instead will interrogate the very vocabulary used to describe our current “crisis.” Finally, you will become familiar with the wide range of activists whose work has challenged fat stigma and developed alternative models of health and beauty.  -http://oregonstate.edu/dept/dpd/sites/default/files/teaching_fat_studies_12-6_submitted.pdf Witness the death of higher learning, no longer will it be a place to force an expansive of your mindset but a voluntary closing of the offensive open-mindedness in all of America generation by generation.  Once the education industry finishes 'enlightening' its personnel to the truth of social justice these values will grow to completely change America.  Now that the two-party system works to protect itself bureaucratically from third parties it won't be stoppable.
