Trans and gender diverse Victorians deserve dignity and respect.

They deserve to be viewed as equal citizens by the politicians who represent us. 1/2

@ONeill_Carley Congrats Carley!

Thanks @theage for giving us a chance to share our @MonashUni research:
"Most women who play sport are not concerned about the inclusion of transgender women and girls. Indeed, only a minority of women believed trans women have an 'unfair advantage.'"

My dissertation, “Leading from the margins, the @WNBA and the emergence of a new model of sports activism in the US”, was approved! A (long) thread on the findings, followed by a thread of thank-yous.

@XaDodge @kaitlynn_mendes @cdietzel @SuzieMDunn @DrMichaelKehler How wonderful! You certainly deserve this investment in your work. Can't wait to see what you all come out with!

Sorry, thread time. The confected debate about trans rights versus “feminism” and “free speech” is getting worse here in Australia. It’s worth looking at how this has played out in the UK over a longer period, and how the media seems intent to import the issue here 1/

[Bridgette Desjardins @bridgettedesjar]

@GaucherMeg @cuLegalStudies @VeronicaOverlid @tracey_raney @KateMarieGraham Way to go, team!!

I recently published a new paper “The Refusal to Refuse: Bisexuality Trouble and the Hegemony of Monosexuality” in the Journal of Bisexuality. It examines Judith Butler and queer theory on the issue of bisexuality. Here’s a run down: 1/ https://t.co/K7JU7eiruB

Check out our publication in @JSMjournal on the emotional, invisible, and unpaid labor of women in the sport industry. We argue this labor significantly contributes to gender inequity at the organizational level. @KatieSveinson @ajhanaikeaton @ljb99001 @SportMgmtProf @ktoffa

I’m thrilled to be an #earlycareerresearcher award nominee for this year’s @ESSA_NEWS #RTP2022. I’ll be presenting our CHAMPLAIN-AF study which looked into the🚶levels + knowledge, self-efficacy and outcome expectations towards 🏃 in those with AF. Pub: https://t.co/oFUipLUb31…

@cchenDr Very useful intervention Dr Chen! @visticuffs, might be something to engage with re: our critiques of the limits of inclusion initiatives for our paper?

[Derek Silva (derekcrim.bsky.social) @Derekcrim]

What does critical criminology have to say about sports?

Keep an eye on this space for "Power Played: A Critical Criminology of Sport" dropping in the Fall with @UBCPress!
