Through individual research, students will be asked to reflect on the impact of a specific athlete
activist (of their choice) in the gender equity domain. Was their style/approach effective in
advancing social justice in terms of gender? Your written assignment should differentiate
activism styles (intentional, passive, mirroring historical contexts) and their effectiveness. Be
sure to trace activism “styles” to differing life experiences of the athlete you examine. Reflect on
the legacy of the athlete.
