Dr Caitlin (Cat) Pausé was a senior lecturer at Massey University from 2008 until her death in March 2022. Cat’s academic focus was on the impact of fat stigma on the health and well-being of fat people. She published on coming out as fat, the barriers to health for fat people, and the role of social media in fat activism and scholarship. At Massey, Cat was well-liked and respected by staff and students and is remembered for her generosity, humility and caring. Cat was a strong believer in education and professional development and was known to occasionally sponsor students out of her own pocket to travel to professional seminars and conferences.
This scholarship fund was founded by Cat’s parents Paul and Megan Pausé who want this scholarship to benefit numerous generations of students at Massey and keep Caitlin’s memory alive for many, many years. Other family, friends and colleagues have also contributed to the fund.
