Help make the WSC more accessible
The Weight Stigma Conference is a not-for-profit event and we have been crowdfunding our Bursary Fund since 2016. This has allowed us to give out 65 bursaries to delegates from around the world. If you are able to provide any assistance to help us increase accessibility, every little is very gratefully received. If you are registering for this year’s conference (early bird rates expire 16 May), you can make a donation to the Bursary Fund at registration. Otherwise, please visit our GoFundMe page.

Meet the 2024 WSC Keynotes
Dr Lily O’Hara, Associate Professor of Public Health, Qatar University.

Caleb Luna is an award-winning educator and scholar, the bestselling author of REVENGE BODY , and co-host of the podcast Unsolicited: Fatties Talk Back. Caleb’s cultural work examines race, size, sexuality and disability in media and culture. Ultimately, they are interested in engaging embodied difference as a generative resource toward fatter understandings of collective freedom.
Stacy Bias is a social justice activist, artist and writer with over 20 years’ experience. Working with academics, researchers, charities, NGOs and other mission-based organisations, she combines research with illustration and animation to create humanising narratives that amplify marginalised voices.
