While discrimination based on race, sex, and gender is regularly seen in the headlines, it is rarer to come across news on body size bias. Two University of Oregon Professors are working to bring more attention and understanding to this common form of discrimination through a new workshop for university faculty members and staff.
Assistant professors Nichole Kelly and Elizabeth Budd – in the College of Education’s department of Counseling Psychology and Human Services – are the researchers who initiated the body size discrimination workshop.
