Uncommon Sense: Philosopher Kate Manne On How To Fight Fatphobia
Author and Cornell University Professor of philosophy Dr Kate Manne returns to speak in-depth with host Amy Mullins about her excellent new book, Unshrinking: How To Fight Fatphobia.
As Kate describes it; "part memoir, part polemic, and part (all?) philosophy, this book aims to show why fatphobia is a vital social justice issue, and provide an analysis of what fatphobia is and how it works." She proposes "a radical revaluation of who our bodies exist in the world for: ourselves and no one else."
Kate spoke about her previous best-selling books with Amy in 2020 – Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny and Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women.
