10th Annual Weight Stigma Conference
A hybrid silent-disco to rage, reflect and heal
Shared music to vent and honour the frustrations, anger and rage that can be experienced within families, communities and systems that are yet to understand the impacts of weight stigma!
A co-produced playlist that offers a space to reflect, soothe and comfort for a stressed out researcher; activist; lived and learnt experience delegate of The Weight Stigma Conference 2024.
A co-created playlist to connect and share music... that has helped us reflect on hope; affirm that our efforts ARE impacting systemic change; gathered music that might help us feel less isolated in our work.
The emotional impact of working in weight stigma spaces can be profound. Even at an event where most people βget it,β this work can take a toll.
I would like us to work together to create three playlists on the themes of
VENT: music that can honour frustration, anger, rage
REFLECT: music that can inspire, comfort, be reflective
CONNECT: music that can unify, lift, heal
How it will work: Conference attendees can contribute to the playlists using Spotify (πlinksπ) or Google forms HERE
Online delegates can tune in to the playlists on your own devices π§π’πΆ
In-person delegates can use one of πΆπ§ 30 silent disco headsets π§πΆ that will be available throughout the event.
πThe playlists will then be available after the conference for whenever you need that little boost.π
π Spot a song you don't like, or feel resistance to? π In the spirit of co-learning you can let us know anonymously HERE
Bringing together public health, government and public policy, psychology, medicine, sociology, anthropology, allied health professions, education, sports and exercise science, social sciences, media studies, business, law, activism, and the lay public to consider research, policy, rhetoric, and practice around the issue of weight stigma.
