  • The Stigma of Obesity
    Social Psychology Quarterly 74(1) 76–97 The Stigma of Obesity: Ó American Sociological Association 2011 DOI: 10.1177/0190272511398197 Does Perceived Weight http://spq.sagepub.com Discrimination Affect Identity and Physical Health? Markus H. Schafer1 and Kenneth F. Ferraro1 Abstract Obesity is widely recognized as a health risk, but it also represents a disadvantaged social position. Viewing body weight within the framework of stigma and its effects on life chances, we examine how perceived weight-based discrimination influences identity and physical health. Using national survey data with a 10-year longitudinal follow-up, we consider whether perceptions of weight discrimination shape weight perceptions, whether perceived weight discrimination exacerbates the health risks of obesity, and whether weight perceptions are the mechanism explaining why perceived weight discrimination is damaging to health. Perceived weight discrimination is found to be harmful, increasing the health risks of obesity associated with functional disability and, to a lesser degree, self-rated health. Findings also reveal that weight-based stigma shapes weight perceptions, which mediate the relationship between perceived discrimination and health. Keywords obesity, stigma, discrimination, health The sense that one has been treated weight discrimination). Though less unfairly at work or in public places frequently studied, social reactions to can have negative consequences for body weight may be linked to opportu- sentiment and health. When discrimi- nity structures and personal well- nation is perceived to be related to being, but the mechanisms for how race or ethnicity (an ascribed status), this occurs are a matter of ongoing it is often viewed as an overt form of debate (Muennig 2008; Puhl and racism, initiating a stress process Brownell 2001).

Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Not “Fit” for Hire: The United States and France on Weight Discrimination in Employment Michael L. Huggins Abstract Part I will examine past and present attitudes regarding obesity in US society and will discuss the employment challenges obese individuals face because of weight discrimination. Further, Part I will survey US statutory laws at the federal, state, and local levels that currently protect against particular instances of weight discrimination. In sum, this Part aims to provide the current legal and social landscape in the United States for protecting individuals against employment discrimination based on their weight. Part II will look at France’s cultural bias against obesity and its laws against physical appearance discrimination. Part II then will analyze French statutory law and legislative history. This Part will ground the discussion in cases that have arisen in French media involving physical appearance discrimination based on weight, including an investigation by France’s human rights watch institution, Le Defenseur´ des droits. Overall, this perspective on French law will form the foundation for analyzing the extent of protection that the United States may feasibly adopt to protect individuals against weight discrimination.

What Does Genocide Produce? The Semantic Field of Genocide, Cultural Genocide, and Ethnocide in Indigenous Rights Discourse Jeff Benvenuto Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey Newark, NJ, USA Abstract: The semantic field of genocide, cultural genocide, and ethnocide overlaps between Indigenous rights discourse and genocide studies. Since the 1970s, such language has been used to express grievances that have stimulated the construction of Indigenous rights in international law. These particular words signify general concerns with the integrity of Indigenous peoples, thereby undergirding a larger framework of normative beliefs, ethical arguments, and legal claims, especially the right to self-determination.
