Speaker: Cathy van Ingen, Professor of Kinesiology
Cathy describes herself as a scholar-activist whose research examines the relationship between sport, inequality, and social change. For two decades, her work has been at the forefront of trauma- and violence-informed sport research.
Recently, she earned her Master of Fine Arts in Documentary Media and completed her first short documentary film: What Ales Us? (2024) explores what happens to two women who battled gender-based abuse in Canada’s craft beer industry.
The award-winning documentary will be screened as part of Cathy’s presentation. [Content warning: sexual harassment]
