Nikki is a "Derry Girl" - the show is based on her school (if you know you know!). They now live in East London with Ricky, their two awesome neurodivergent kids, and their cat Freya.

They like messy conversations that make space for tangents, deep dives, different perspectives, and "jumping over each other in excitement".

Nikki seeks to take a relational, neuro-affirming, and body-inclusive approach to her work, while also holding the ways in which her profession is complicit in uploading harmful ideals of normative bodyminds.

Nikki Haggett (they/she) is a Certified Body Trust® Provider, Internal Family Systems Practitioner, and Clinical Psychotherapist (in training). She is a white, fat, disabled, and neurodivergent human with a late diagnosis of Autism and ADHD (AuDHD).

Her research critically examines how anti-obesity efforts drive anti-fatness in the US and how the field of weight stigma research perpetuates anti-fatness through its refusal to divest from an anti-obesity agenda.

Her research has been published in the Fat Studies Journal, Women’s Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal, and the Journal of Applied Social Psychology. In 2021, she joined the Centre for Fat Liberation and Scholarship as an Inaugural Junior Fellow.

Her dissertation will be available as an open access document in 1 or 2 months from this episode’s publication. She holds a BA in Biology from Wesleyan University, an MS in Narrative Medicine from Columbia University, and an MA in Communication from UC San Diego.

and UC President's Dissertation Year Fellow in the Communication Department, Science Studies Program, and Critical Gender Studies Graduate Specialization at UC San Diego.
