The Network for People Fighting for Fat Rights
Sam Murray's Page
Latest Activity
A group for scholars, academics, or plain ol' nerds interested in fat studies, critical fat studies, or whatever you want to call it. We already have the Fat Studies Listerv, but this could also be a potentially great place to network.
About Me
I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Somatechnics Research Centre and the Department of Media, Music and Cultural Studies at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. I have published a book entitled The ‘Fat’ Female Body (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008), and I am co-editor (with Nikki Sullivan) of Somatechnics: Queering the Technologisation of Bodies (Ashgate: London, forthcoming 2009). I have published articles on embodiment, and the discursive constructions of normalcy and pathology, and my research interests are primarily in critical medical studies, public health discourse, appearance and the lived experience of fat embodiment.
Some of my published articles are below:
Corporeal Knowledges and Deviant Bodies: Perceiving the Fat Body
Normative Imperatives Vs. Pathological Bodies: Constructing The ‘Fat’ Woman
Locating Aesthetics: Sexing the Fat Woman
Doing Politics or Selling Out?: Living the Fat Body
