Cherchez la Femme III: Feminism and Sport #melbourne #feminism #geekgirl
Description Gear up for the third instalment of Cherchez la Femme: Feminism and Sport. Is the Australian obsession with sport an intractable problem for the feminist project? Is it just institutionalised aggression, bloodlust and body fascism? Or can it be a space in which women take power, channel their own aggression, and feel part of a community? The panel will be made up of athletes, fanatical consumers of sporting coverage, critics of the elite codes, sporting enthusiasts, game-goers and all manner of other feminists for a full and frank appraisal of how women fit in to a discussion about sport and our society.
Speakers: Lisa Gye, boxer Mischa Merz, roller girl Genevieve ‘danger’ Berrick and Seb Prowse
