Few would dispute the fact that sport as it is organized in the United States and many places around the world is a gendered environment. Structured around a gender binary, the predominant structure of sport is sex segregated. As much as laws like Title IX are generally thought to foster equal access to sport for men and women, the very act of separating places a spotlight on difference. For women athletes developing in such a system, what gender logics shape their sense of who they are and how do they co-construct these logics? In a fascinating autoethnography, Bowling Green State University sport management professor Meredith Flaherty, who is a former NCAA Division I women’s soccer player, professional soccer player and coach at the youth and college levels, reflects on her own experiences through the lens of gender, discourse, and agency. In this episode, we speak with Meredith about her journey as an athlete, coach, and scholar and the insights she has gained by putting her own athletic career under the microscope.
Host: Dr. Ellen Staurowsky
Guest: Meredith Flaherty, Assistant Professor, Sport Management, Bowling Green State University
