Making observations about their appearance, weight, and appearance; giving unsolicited advice; or using criticism or insults about their bodies as a way to belittle people who we feel deserve it. But the conversation about bodies isn&#8217;t neutral, and even when well-intentioned, it has consequences for the lives of others, including our own. In this meeting, we&#8217;ll try to focus on some critical aspects of the conversation about bodies (ours and others) and how changing it can change many things.<em>\u200b<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1414\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/brera.inaf.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Locandina-differenze-2026-Giulia-Blasi.png\" alt=\"Locandina conferenza Giulia Blasi - 5\/02\/2026\" class=\"wp-image-9310\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Giulia Blasi Conference Poster &#8211; February 5, 2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The INAF Brera Astronomical Observatory is organizing a series of monthly meetings for 2026 on issues of gender, disability, identity, aesthetic pressure, and neurodivergence, entitled &#8220;Shades of Red for the Coexistence of Differences.&#8221; Title for the first conference 2026: &#8220;No Body is an Island: How Collective Conversation About Our Bodies Influences Our Decisions (and What [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9452,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[595,24,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gender-issues","category-news-en","category-scientific-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/brera.inaf.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/locandina-ciclo-seminari2026.png",630,844,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/brera.inaf.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/locandina-ciclo-seminari2026.png",112,150,false],"medium":["https:\/\/brera.inaf.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/locandina-ciclo-seminari2026.png",224,300,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/brera.inaf.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/locandina-ciclo-seminari2026.png",630,844,false],"large":["https:\/\/brera.inaf.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/locandina-ciclo-seminari2026.png",630,844,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/brera.inaf.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/locandina-ciclo-seminari2026.png",630,844,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/brera.inaf.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/locandina-ciclo-seminari2026.png",630,844,false]},"post_excerpt_stackable":"<p>The INAF Brera Astronomical Observatory is organizing a series of monthly meetings for 2026 on issues of gender, disability, identity, aesthetic pressure, and neurodivergence, entitled &#8220;Shades of Red for the Coexistence of Differences.&#8221; Title for the first conference 2026: &#8220;No Body is an Island: How Collective Conversation About Our Bodies Influences Our Decisions (and What We Can Do in Our Daily Life to Change It)&#8221; Speaker: Dr. Giulia Blasi \u2013 Author, Trainer, and Instructor.
