Women in Organizational Sport Leadership

Launching a third season of Tucker Center Talks, Dr. LaVoi talks to colleague Dr. Laura Burton, Professor and Department Head, of Neag School of Education at U Conn. Dr. Burton is a Tucker Center affiliated scholar, gender and sport leadership expert, and a woman who has lived a personal and professional life fighting for gender equity. She co-edited a seminal book on this topic with Dr. Sarah Leberman Women in Sport Leadership: Research and Practice for Change (2017). We talk about her work, how to create system change, what she is excited about, and advice for young women scholars. To sign up for the #disruptHERS ‘Stat of the Week’ that draws attention to people, organizations, and events that disrupt the status quo in sport. #disruptHERS is a campaign and movement that highlights disruptions to the normative model of sport, created by and for men, and that privileges men, and why it matters.
