PUBLIC FORUM - Obesity and Body Image: Should we care?

Flinders University with the support of South Australian Universities Alumni Europe, The University of Adelaide, Study Adelaide and the Agent-General of South Australia presents the first of a series of alumni forums.

 

The topic of obesity/body image is of major interest to researchers, health professionals and government agencies globally. Despite this, how we manage and recognise what is healthy weight is still being debated. What can be done? Our panelists will explore these and many other issues.

 

You're welcome to enjoy South Australian wines and refreshments after the forum and take the opportunity to network with the panelists and hear more about their collaborative work with our UK partners and alumni.

• Professor John Coveney, Public Health, Flinders University

 

• Professor Campbell Thompson, Medicine, The University of Adelaide

 

• Professor Lynne Cobiac, Nutrition and Dietetics, Flinders University; Deputy Head, CSIRO Food Science, Adelaide
