Fat Studies is a fast-growing, interdisciplinary field
and proposals from any field of study are welcome. At
MPCA 2006 we had three full panels, with presentations
on widely varied topics including Ben Jonson's poetry,
comic book villains, celebrity exercise videos, BMI
testing in schools, eating disorders in prisons, and
the relationship between obesity and academic
achievement.
