On this week’s episode, Nicole talks to three advocates, scholars, collaborators, colleagues and #disruptHERS — Dr. Nancy Lough, Dr. Ann Pegoraro and Dr. Katie Lebel — about recent disruptions in sport, as they relate to women and politics. The women talk about how the recent U.S. elections intersect with women in leadership, how the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) athlete’s activism continues to disrupt opportunities in merchandise and sponsorship, challenging sport as a unifier narrative, and the importance of the increased visibility of female athletes.
