That’s why, when the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education hosted a public symposium featuring a researcher and representatives from the new professional leagues in women’s basketball, hockey and soccer, the dean got emotional. “I couldn’t believe how many young girls were in the audience,” she recalls. “I just wanted to cry because you could see this next generation blossoming, looking at these amazing women who are paving the way, and of course, standing on the shoulders of many who came before them – without the recognition.” Our women’s teams are newer … and the number of people to elicit support from is substantially smaller. But what could be a better time to change this? The faculty’s newly established Tanenbaum Knowledge Translation Chair for Science in Women’s Sport will advance much-needed research and bring greater attention to a long-neglected area, Kerr says.
