Ozempic, Diet Culture, and the Skinny on Fatness

Is Ozempic changing the way we think about health, beauty, and body size, or is it just diet culture in a new prescription bottle? Join us for a candid conversation about fatness, diet culture, and the myths we’ve been told about weight and health. Drawing on personal experience and a medical humanities perspective, we’ll question what it really means to be “healthy,” explore the social pressures surrounding our bodies, and get creative with some anti-diet culture collaging. Come for the conversation, stay for the art!   The PopCULTURE Lounge is a space to discuss, explore, appreciate & think critically about what’s happening in pop culture today. Join us twice a month for snacks, drinks, and great conversation!    For access needs, accommodations, and questions related to this event please reach out to: mica-office@umd.edu  Hosted by: Multicultural Involvement & Community Advocacy Additional Information can be found at: https://terplink.umd.edu/event/12897564
