Post/socialist chemical research: a gendered politics of visual representation

This article explores changes to the strongly gendered politics of representation in applied chemical research using visual material from company magazines of Czech-based chemical plants (1969–2000).

The focus on visual representations gives us a novel perspective on the intersection of technology, gender and geopolitics and what it can tell us about the ways in which competi…

“This doctor knows shit about you, but the first thing he says is, ‘you need to lose some weight’”: Anti-fat bias and the contradictory effects of fat medicalization in Czech healthcare

The anti-fat bias that is built on the premised principle antagonism between a fat and a healthy body remains entrenched in healthcare. Despite evidence that being fat is conditioned by many factors beyond a person’s control, fatness is often seen as a result of irresponsible behavior and moral failure and fat patients report being exposed to mistreatment, discrimination, and shaming in healthcare. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and written testimonies, we examine the experiences of people with fat em…
