Hi everyone! At The Crossroads of Women in Sports was created to provide a platform to explore the topic of women in sports. Our names are Dilara and Maia, and we are two students at Queen's University who are passionate about discussing the advancements and lack of opportunities for women in the professional sports environment, with a special focus on intersectionality. We will be interviewing varsity athletes and health researchers from diverse backgrounds. Welcome to our channel!
This week featured Kael King, a former Powderpuff coach and Kianna Kozak, a former Powderpuff player. In this episode, we gained in-depth experiences of what it means to be apart of PowderPuff, also known as the Queen's University Women's Flag Football team, how the sport promotes inclusivity, addressed common assumptions, and more.
Our guest this week is Dr. Courtney Szto, an assistant professor at Queen's University in the department of Kinesiology. In this episode, we discuss intersectionality in relation to issues in women's sports and anti-racism in hockey.
