Women in Sport: Part 3

Hi - We move on to part 3 of our 5 part mini series into Women in Sport as it feels like we are at a moment in time in which the way women's sport is watched and played is changing rapidly. This series seeks to explore what is happening right now in women's sport, and what more needs to be done to bridge the equality gap, looking at it mainly through the eyes of women in running.

This episode is a conversation with Natasha Cockram as part of our scheme to invest in British elite marathon runers in which we talked about her experiences of male dominated college life in the US and what impact that had on her running. We also talk about the nature of feminity in sport and pose some questions about the role of social media today. There is loads of interesting, yet maddening stuff in this one including a reference to this blog post which gives you a sense of what to expect....https://www.irun.ca/index.php/an-open-letter-to-queens-university-from-a-woman-whos-suffered-first-hand-abuse/

I hope you also find it interesting.
