TEDxYorkU 2014 was held on March 3, 2014 in the Fecan Theatre at York University. The theme for the event was Combustion.

Speaker and Talk Description:

Jill Andrew's lively body image talk addresses fat shaming, fat euphemisms (i.e. plus fashion), and strategies to address what she calls the pervasive "thin epidemic." Jill draws a parallel between 'fatness' and 'blackness' as disruptions to dominant thin centric/Eurocentric body ideals. Jill's key message: "Fat is a description not a prescription, nor an invitation for hate!"

*Caution: talk includes a hilarious sense of humour and some language not suitable for children.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
