Women In Sport and Exercise Conference 2021

Redressing the Balance

The University of Worcester is hosting the third annual Women in Sport and Exercise Conference in April 2021 (19th-22nd) online via Zoom. The conference welcomes practitioners, educators, European policy makers, students and any representatives in relation to the GETZ project.

This year’s conference is titled ‘Redressing the Balance’ and will have an international focus, aiming to bring together both academics and practitioners from a variety of disciplines to address the issues surrounding women’s participation within sport, exercise and physical activity. Multiple fields and disciplines will be covered, including psychology, physiology, coaching and performance, leadership and management, sociology and cultural perspectives.

The GETZ Inaugural conference will run parallel to this, including the findings from research studies conducted by both the GETZ partners and other researchers, focussing on gender perceptions, Generation Z and communication, alongside the impact and implications for practice from the GETZ three-year project.
