The gendering of ‘obesity panic’: a prospective intersectional research investigation (original) (raw)

This research explores the gendering of 'obesity panic' discourse, particularly focusing on maternal obesity and its implications for health policy and service delivery. It highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between body weight and reproductive health, considering the social, cultural, and political contexts that affect women's experiences. The study aims to unpack the biomedical constructions of maternal obesity, emphasizing an intersectional approach that looks at various social inequities and the implications for reproductive politics and social justice in health.
