#IWD: Celebrating Women in Sport

We just had a very well-attended inaugural IWD women in sport event at the Cairns Institute. It was hosted by Terry Engelberg and Kelly Sinclair (SES) and attended by undergraduate male and female students. We talked about the progress women have made in all spheres of sport but we also talked about the challenges still to overcome.

Highlights: we had a Skype chat with Selina Goodman, SES/JCU graduate who now plays Professional AFL for the Brisbane Lions on the Gold Coast and works full time as a HPE teacher; and we had a third year student telling us about her experiences as an intern in the Northern Pride Club, a very male-dominated environment.
