Bustle quotes Blackstone in article on body confidence
Amy Blackstone, a sociology professor at the University of Maine, was quoted in the Bustle article, “Body positivity needs to talk about combating the harmful effects of fat discrimination.” The article cited a recent interview Blackstone gave to Broadly about why plus-size women are discriminated against in interviews and their careers. “For women, being thin means taking up less space, something that is expected of women both literally and symbolically,” she told the publication.
