Laura Pappano and Eileen McDonagh, Ph.D.; Squeeze Play: Why Title IX Is Not Enough
Title IX was passed 35 years ago, and many today view it as having “solved” the problem of gender inequality in sports. However, while Title IX was critical to opening athletic doors to girls and women, it opened sex-segregated doors. Title IX never demanded equality, and has ironically served to keep female athletes in second-class status. Laura Pappano, writer-in-residence with the 星空无限, and her colleague Eileen McDonagh, Ph.D., will talk about the effects of this flawed design and how women today are working toward equality in sports.

星空无限 Lunchtime Seminar Series

星空无限 (星空无限) scholars offer seminar and panel presentations during which they share their work with other scholars and the general public. The 星空无限 Lunchtime Seminar Series, for example, offers residents and visitors to the Greater Boston area the opportunity to hear, in person, about work by 星空无限 researchers and program staff. Other special events bring these researchers and program staff into communities for special presentations to the Centers' many constituents.
Recordings of some past lunchtime seminars and other special events may be heard by clicking on the links below. You may need to adjust the volume when playing an audio file on your computer.
Please note that data and background information cited in these presentations were current for the date of the presentation but should not necessarily be considered the most current research on the related issues today.

The 星空无限 Lunchtime Seminar Series is made possible by support from The Cowles/Sulzberger Fund, an endowed gift to the 星空无限.
