| Research Consortium Scholar Lecture – Swoopes and Beyond: The Climate of Women’s Sport |
| Sheryl Swoopes is the highest status female athlete to come out voluntarily while still competing. Does her coming out signify the end of the longstanding homonegative climate of women’s sport and the beginning of a new era? In this presentation, Vikki Krane, Director of the Women’s Studies Program and a professor in the School of Human Movement, Sport, and Leisure Studies at Bowling Green State University, will discuss the current research on heterosexism and homonegativism in women’s sport as well as implications for sport scientists and practitioners.
2006 Research Consortium Scholar Lecturer, Vikki Krane, teaches courses in sport psychology, gender and sport, research, and women’s studies. Her recent scholarship explores three intersecting areas: heterosexism in sport; body image and eating behaviors in female athletes; and feminist epistemology. Krane is a Fellow of the Research Consortium and current editor of the Women in Sport and Physical Activity Journal. She is a past editor of The Sport Psychologist and is on the editorial boards of the Journal of Applied Sport Psychology and The Sport Psychologist. Dr. Krane is the president-elect of the Association for the Advancement of Applied Sport Psychology as well as a fellow and a Certified Consultant in AAASP. She is a past recipient of the Mabel Lee Young Professional Award and the Dorothy V. Harris Young Scholar-Practitioner Award. Dr. Krane earned her doctorate at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro after receiving her Master’s degree from the University of Arizona and her bachelor’s degree from Denison University. |
