The latest webinar from the Sport, Leadership and Social Change Webinar Series by Dr. Jen Walinga at Royal Roads University is live! And wow was it a good one!!

You can find it on YouTube: Equity in Sport: Are Things Finally Changing?
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_F04p4cdLDlXQ2Zgq07focUzst5HJI78

During our May episode, we examined the entrenchment of misogyny and violence in the sport of hockey and asked the question “are we in the midst of a sport revolution, evolution, or regression?” Too often, women and other marginalized groups have experienced small wins only to discover they are now complicit in the patriarchy or contributing to their own hegemonic control. While we now enjoy women’s pro leagues in Soccer and Hockey, a shrinking pay gap, and a growing fanbase in the WNBA, how can we ensure sustainable change? Where is gender equity advancing, where does it continue to be problematic, and what are the forces at play - both supportive and detractive? Join Dr. Jen Walinga and her guests for an update on recent developments in gender equity in sport, a reflection on what challenges and opportunities remain, a discussion of how gender equity is and is not progressing in sport, and what steps each of us can take to lead change.

Travers is a Professor in the Department of Sociology & Anthropology at Simon Fraser University. In addition to a central research focus on transgender children and youth, Dr. Travers has published extensively on the relationship between sport and social justice, with particular emphasis on the inclusion and exclusion of women, q***r and trans people of all ages.

"hang it in the Louvre" and so wonderful for Bruny Surin to be able to witness it! Like Marnie McBean being there for the Tokyo rowing gold - so perfect!

Lots of media opps on the Drone scandal - my main message is that we must tackle the factors corrupting sport, not sport itself. Sport is the most powerful tool for human and social development the world has. The Canadian gov't must fund sport, not medals. A focus on outcomes fosters a win at all costs mentality; in what other game is the object to 'win'? The object of sport is faster, higher, stronger, together; respect, friendship, and respect - not winning.

Resource sport not “winning”.
