Webinar – Stratifying Food, Bodies, and Health: The Role of Socially Dominant Narratives in Shaping the Current Health & Nutrition Landscape
During this 60 minute session, participants will be guided through the complex interplay between social identities and how they influence the current nutrition education landscape. Assisted by session facilitator Patrilie Hernandez, participants will be able to examine how socially dominant identities influence the narratives around food, body, and health, and how these narratives can perpetuate systemic inequities. Be part of this insightful discussion that challenges conventional narratives and seeks to foster a more equitable and inclusive approach to nutrition education. By understanding the influence of socially dominant identities, we can begin to dismantle barriers and create more just food systems for all.
All registrants will receive access to the webinar recording and any additional resources for 30 days after the live presentation.
