Action
I am a fat activist. I began the performance/education group Pretty Porky and Pissed Off in 1997. I am also a queer activist and I have concocted the term Deep Lez for a movement that works to maintain the radical in lesbian. I have recently completed my PhD dissertation about fat women, power and space at York University in Toronto, Canada, where I teach cultural studies. I lecture about lesbian graffiti, 3rd wave feminism and fat activism. As well, I conduct film and video workshops, do artist talks, studio visits and body image discussions.
