This session will feature two conversations — one focused on the global landscape of “sport for development” and the other focused on the United States — and will conclude with a brief panel discussion and Q&A. Each conversation between researcher and practitioner will highlight emerging research that demonstrates how sport can be used to advance gender justice around the world.
