Kudos to Julie Minikel-Lacocque, associate professor and chairperson in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, on publication in the Women in Sport and Physical Activity Journal of her research on gender identity denial. The article, “Liars, Cheaters, and Short-Haired Girls: Gender Identity Denial of Young Athletes,” examines gender-identity discrimination viewed through Critical Feminist Theory based on Minikel-Lacocque’s work with a focus group of young athletes, coaches and families. Non-subscribers to the Journal can read Minikel-Lacocque’s article for free through the month of October. Read more »
