Obesity in Canada received an honourable mention for the 2018 “Outstanding Scholarship Prize” from Women’s and Gender Studies/Recherches Féministes (WGSRF). In their citation, they said:
“Obesity in Canada: Critical Perspectives is a laudable example not only of cutting-edge scholarly research but also of how to construct an edited collection around a complex theme…Its attention to authorship, identity, interdisciplinarity and to the ways in which obesity discourses are made complicit in disempowering individuals and communities, all contribute to providing a critical and important contribution to women’s and gender studies scholarship, and to the thinking which ought to undergird policy development and critique in Canada.”
