KaneMJ-2005Professor Mary Jo Kane, School of Kinesiology faculty and director of the Tucker Center, will deliver the 2013 American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) Research Consortium Raymond A. Weiss Distinguished Lecture in Charlotte, NC, on April 24. In her lecture, “An Examination of Female Athletes’ Interpretations of Media Representations: A Window into the Construction of Dual Identity & ‘Selling Sex’ in Women’s Sports,” Kane examines how “selling sex” by creating “sexy babe” images suppresses interest in—not to mention respect for—women’s sports.
