✨I’m really excited to share this news with you…
I’m writing a book about fat sexuality!📚
I recently finished my coursework for my Clinical Sexology PhD program… and now I’m fully immersed in the doctoral project.
While I cannot share too much yet … I can tell you that the book will explore the history and implications of anti-fat bias on sexuality for larger bodied folks through both historical and intersectional feminist lenses.
I plan to combine my knowledge of human sexuality with my passion for fat-acceptance in order to procure this book which will aim to provide additional support, validation, information, and resources for fat individuals, their partner(s), as well as those who work in the fields of mental health, sexual health, and body liberation.
As thrilled as I am about the topic…. I’m just as excited about who I’m collaborating with as I write.
My committee chair is Dr. Meg Bartlett-Chase, PhD (
@meg_bartlettchase ), who is a Minneapolis-Based Sex Education Policy and Practice Consultant.
I first met Meg when I volunteered to be a part of her Birds & Bees Project (
@birds_bees_and_sex_ed ): an anthology of folks’ stories detailing the many ways we learn about sex growing up, which will one day (soon) also be published as a book. Even in our initial conversation, I could sense how encouraging and informed Meg is. I’m honored to have her support and wealth of knowledge as I move through this process.
My second committee member is Dr. Krista Nabar, PsyD, LP, HSPP, (
@DrSexyFat ), who is the Executive Director of Carolina Sexual Wellness Center, an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, and the co-host of the
@FatandFuckedPod . I’m so grateful to be working with someone whose clinical interests and personal passions align so closely with my own.
Working with these brilliant humans on a project I care about so deeply is a dream come true. ✨😊
So… if you need me I’ll be nose deep in articles as I start my literature review.
