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 an Associate 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, queer and trans people of all ages. 

Jill Moffatis a two time Olympic rower currently pursuing her PhD in Human Kinetics has co founded MOMentum, a non profit organization supported through an OLY legacy grant and providing family planning education, resources, grants, pro bono legal help, and mentorship to female national team athletes.
