Introduction

Welcome to your Notebook for GESO 3134H: Gender, Sport & Social Justice! This is the space where you will record your answers to the various prompts you will encounter at regular intervals throughout each module. While this notebook includes material from Blackboard to provide context for the prompts, you will need to engage with the Blackboard site primarily as the space where you will find the readings, detailed notes and lectures on the readings, and class discussion.

When you encounter the Notebook prompt on Blackboard, you can come here to record your answer. Each module contains about nine prompts, including activities, class discussion, and short answer responses (usually 2-3 sentences at the most, but I will specify a word count when useful).

Padlet responses should be recorded in both the padlet space and here. Try to work through the prompts over the course of the two-week interval of each module, as these are manageable provided you adhere to the timeline.  I am looking for signs that you have completed all prompts and activities, engaged thoughtfully with course material, included specific details and examples from readings, and have engaged with your peers in supportive and meaningful ways.

I look forward to reading your responses!

Prompt: Think back to the last section and try to look at some of the ideas we discussed differently. How might sport and social justice actually co-exist? Add to the columns below images, video clips, gifs, and identify a point of intersection between sports and social justice (can be an issue or a barrier or a debate or something you would like to explore in more depth in this course) : 

Prompt: What are the implications of bodies-at-risk discourse and the refusal to understand the health gap from a social justice perspective, according to the authors of this article?

Prompt: What are the different kinds of feminism the authors outline and how do they connect to sport?
