November 10, A Conversation with Kate Manne
Unshrinking: A Conversation with Kate Manne
Monday, November 10, 2025 at 7 p.m.
Ruth Dill Johnson Crockett Building First-Floor Conference Room, 162 Ryders Lane, New Brunswick
Over the last several decades, implicit bias has waned in every category, from race to sexual orientation, except one – body size. UNSHRINKING: How to Face Fatphobia examines how anti-fatness operates, intersects with other systems of oppression, and leads to devastating assumptions about a person’s attractiveness, fortitude, and intellect. This book proposes a new politics of “body reflexivity” – a radical reevaluation of who our bodies exist in the world for: ourselves and no one else.
Author Kate Manne will join Roxane Gay for a reading and conversation about UNSHRINKING. Copies of the book will be given to the first 50 attendees.
