Description

There is no denying that Title IX created many new opportunities for women in sport, but what women were excluded from these opportunities? This week, Dr. Shaunna Payne Gold from our Unphased podcast welcomes Dr. Markesha Henderson to discuss the intersection of Title IX, civil rights, and women's rights. Dr. Henderson is the Director of Athletics at Agnes Scott College and brings a unique perspective as one of only 35 black female athletic directors in the NCAA.
Shaunna and Dr. Henderson discuss what it takes to have your intercollegiate team flourish, and how having male allies is often necessary. Further, Dr. Henderson underlines the ways in which intercollegiate athletic systems exclude women, and specifically black women, from taking on leadership roles in sport. Finally, Dr. Henderson tells us how she would use her magic wand to change things for women's sports today.

We live in a world where sport was made for men. Whether we're competing at the highest level or running a local 5k, we often feel like something is missing when it comes to getting the best from our bodies. That's because most of the research, product development, and cultural norms in sport are centered around men. Finding the right information can feel overwhelming. Every week it seems that someone is promoting a new diet, product, or regime that’s guaranteed to work. Getting the information you need to reach your goals shouldn't be so hard. That's why we cut the B.S. and find the information and trusted experts you need to get the best out of your body.
