Nicole LaVoi, Ph.D., faculty in the School of Kinesiology and co-director of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport, is presenting with the Women’s Sports Foundation’s Marge Snyder at the NCAA Inclusion Forum in Indianapolis, IN, April 16-18.

In their presentation, “Behind the Numbers: Recent Research on Women Coaches,” LaVoi will provide data on the current climate of the workplace for women college coaches, placing the data in context with focus on common narratives that place the blame for the lack of women coaches on women, and strategies for recruiting and retaining women coaches. Snyder will describe Beyond Xs and Os (BXO), a research project that measures NCAA coaches of women’s sports’ perceptions and experiences with gender bias, discussing how research findings will be used to build awareness about the gender bias faced by women in collegiate coaching and administration, educate policymakers, coaches and administrators.
