Project Title: The Ethical Fat Fashion Tax: Fat Fashion Oppression Through Resource Scarcity and Desire<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Summary: The purpose of this project is to explore what, if any, ethical and emotional costs fat women pay during the fast fashion shopping experience. This project will examine the desires, needs, social taboos, and emotions surrounding the shopping experience of plus-size women at the fast fashion company SHEIN. The study will also explore the ability to access brands perceived as ethical and possible coercion into fast fashion shopping. The study will be a 2-hour online focus group where the shopping experience, emotions, and social taboos of fast fashion will be discussed in depth. With your consent, the focus groups will be audio-recorded. Once the recording has been transcribed, the audio recording will be destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
