\"Woman<\/p>\r\n

Researchers in this theme explore how inclusivity and diversity can be achieved in and through sport. The principle focus of the researchers in this theme is gender equity in sports leadership. The core membership of the theme includes members of staff associated with the Anita White Foundation (AWF). The AWF educates, empowers and invests in female leaders and scholars in sport, preserves heritage of the women and sport movement, conducts and facilitates impactful research and champions gender equity in sports leadership. Its flagship programme, the Women’s Sport Leadership Academy (WSLA) was shortlisted for a Beyond Sport Award for Gender Equality. Research in this theme has, recently, expanded to include research examining safeguarding of children, the use of sport with refugee communities, community and disability sports coaching and research exploring the classification system for blind football.<\/p>\r\n

Gender Equity in Sports Leadership<\/h2>\r\n

Exploring gender balance in sport<\/h3>\r\n

The (lack of) gender balance within sports leadership has gained increasing traction in the UK. Globally, varying efforts are being attempted by significant sporting organisations. At the 香港六合论坛, we are particularly interested in the experiences and development of women leaders in sport, sport for development, eSports and how this can contribute to gender equity in sports leadership.<\/p>\r\n

We have explored the topic of women leaders in sport nationally (Piggott et al., 2019), globally (Fasting et al., 2018) and over time (Matthews, 2018). We have a track record of doctoral student completions and are also home to the globally-recognised Women’s Sport Leadership Academy (WSLA).<\/p>\r\n
