Indigenous women as leaders of change:
Creating safe and inclusive space in sport
Recent headlines have thrown a spotlight on the violent culture in sport at both the varsity and professional levels. While this was news to some, issues of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of exclusion have existed if not persisted in sport for ages.
Join us Sept. 21 for a conversation with two Olympic and World Champion athletes and an academic scholar who studies sport, identities, and cultures in Olympic history. As they share their stories from the world of high-performance sport, these accomplished women will impart lessons learned and how to move forward as allies and champions of equity, inclusion, and gender justice in sport and beyond. Indigenous women have always been leaders in their communities; from grassroots to the Olympics, these three women have a lot to teach and share with us about their experiences with sport.
