Sport and Gender in Canada
Philip White and Kevin Young

Research on how sport is 'gendered' represents one of the fastest areas of growth in sport studies in the last few decades. Canadian scholars from a number of fields, including sociology, kinesiology/physical education, women's studies, men's studies, cultural studies, and gay studies, are brought together in this collection to examine a wide range of gender related issues, all of which contribute to a larger body of knowledge about how gender operates as a key factor in the way sport is played, organized, and funded.
