The incomparable Crystal Kotow was a brilliant writer, activist, and educator whose research explored fat women’s relationships with their bodies. She got her Ph D from York University and was a self-identified fat feminist killjoy who practiced radical vulnerability in her activism, storytelling, and community building.  May Friedman is a faculty member at Toronto Metropolitan University.  Much of May’s work explores issues of fat activism and weight stigma in many different settings.  Using a range of arts-based methods including digital storytelling as well as analyses of treasured garments, May has explored meaning making and representation in relation to embodiment and experience.
