The Tokyo Olympic Games was a pivotal moment for women in sport but the narrative still needs equalizing. On this week’s episode [S3E13], Tucker Center Director Dr. Nicole M. LaVoi discusses disruptions at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games with returning guests, colleagues, Tucker Center Affiliated Scholars, and #disruptHERS Drs. Nancy Lough, Katie Lebel, and Dunja Antunovic. Their aim is to bring attention to the people, organizations, and events that disrupt the status quo and the normative masculine behavior model of sport. Listen to the podcast

#disruptHERS is a campaign and movement that highlights disruptions to the normative model of sport, created by and for men, and that privileges men, and why it matters.
