Anti-racism in University Sport with Braeden McKenzie
Tuesday, MAY 10, 7 PM PDT over Zoom
The Social Justice Committee invites you to a presentation and Q&A over Zoom with Braeden McKenzie, the next speaker in the 2021/22 series on anti-racism.
Zoom link will be sent out to congregation e-mail list ahead of the event.
Braeden is a PhD candidate, and Course Instructor working in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto. Braeden served as a Senior Research Assistant and co-writer for a report on Indigeneity, Diaspora, Equity and Anti-racism in Sport (IDEAS) at the Research Lab at the University of Toronto.
Because not everyone understands what racism is, or how white privilege operates, many athletes have had to suffer in silence. The IDEAS project sought to learn more about the experiences of Black, Biracial, and Indigenous student-athletes coaches, and sport administrators.
Some of the focus questions for this research project were:
- How is racism and anti-racism perceived and experienced in the Black, Biracial, and Indigenous sport communities on university campuses?
- What role do post-secondary educational institutions play in racism and anti-racism experiences in sport?
- How can anti-racism be improved in the sport community at the post-secondary educational institutional level?
