In this second episode of ‘Why study sport’ Amina Moustafa 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.

On April 30 we launched this new talk series about sport sociology. In this series Amina will encourage us to think critically about sport and analyse the impact sport has on us and the world at large. Together we will uncover the complex relationship between sport and society and discover how sport can perpetuate certain values and beliefs.
