Gender relations in sport
Welcome back to the talk series by Amina Moustafa, Ireland.
In this second episode of ‘Why study sport’ Amina will explore how gender ideologies can impact people's experience of sport. How we define sex and gender can lead to societal expectations of men and women and how men and women 'should' behave. Gender stereotypes that exist in society can also be seen in sport. We will take a closer look at how testosterone has been used as a biological criterion to label women as women in elite sport.
