Today I have a few teaching and admin related tasks to do, as well as preparing for a conference (#BJSMLive22) on Wednesday
I teach on three courses here at Bath:

1. Our distance learning MSc Sports and Exercise Medicine and Sports Physiotherapy courses, for which I convene the Research Phase in which students complete a substantial research project

bath.ac.uk/courses/postgr…
We soon have a Football Medicine in association with FIFA MSc launching too

Watch coverage here:

2. I teach #Qualitative Methods on our interdisciplinary Master of Research

Here is the Health and Wellbeing option

bath.ac.uk/courses/postgr…
and 3. I also contribute to the BSc Sports Management and Coaching

This degree is designed for those who wish to examine the role of sport, health and physical activity within society.

bath.ac.uk/courses/underg…
So, first up:

Our brilliant MSc Sports and Exercise Medicine and Sports Physiotherapy students recently submitted their Dissertations, so today I need to complete some admin related to this.

Always such a privilege to see them through to graduation🎓
Right, all done ✅

I'm going to make some coffee and then let's talk about gender, gendered myths and harmful stereotypes, and sports science research
So this afternoon, after doing the thread on gender & injury, I spent time finalising my presentation on the topic for Wednesday’s conference.

I also started a peer-review for @BJSM_BMJ and handled a paper as Associate Editor for @BMJOpenSEM

Then an exercise class tonight 💪
I’d normally move some research along, but #scicomm over here takes precedence this week

I think I’ll close out this thread for the day. Exciting things happening tomorrow that I’ll take you all along to 👏

1/n 🧵

I want to address a narrative that we see around women’s sport and inclusion (particularly from those who seek to exclude trans women & women with sex variations from women’s sport), and how this narrative is part of a bigger pattern that functions to keep women small
2/n

I have been hearing more frequently the narrative that women's sport apparently exists as a 'protected category' so that women can win (because, on this account, without it no woman will ever win again)
3/n

This is:

a) *not* the reason why women's sport exists as a category,

and b) it is *not* true that no woman will ever win again.

This narrative is profoundly paternalistic and keeps women small.

So before I get onto more about my current work, I though I'd do a quick thread to share my background and how I got to where I am today
I was born in South Africa, and grew up in Francistown, Botswana

Today Botswana has one of the world's fastest-growing economies, but it's history includes being colonised as a British Protectorate, gaining independence in 1966

I completed my undergraduate degree in Human Movement Science and honours degree in Sport Science at @UPTuks in Pretoria, South Africa

Hi everyone!

I'm Dr Sheree Bekker (she/her), a lecturer in the Department for Health @UniofBath

My (transdisciplinary) research contributes critical insights across a range of contemporary challenges in Sport Science, with a focus on injury prevention and safeguarding Selfie of a white woman in ...
My current research is focused on two key strands:

1) understanding the influence of gendered environments on sports injury, and
2) conceptualising gender inclusive sport

I want sport to be a safe space for all

🌈🏳️‍⚧️
What this means is that I'm interested in how gender influences injury in sports for girls/women, including trans women, as well as non-binary and gender expansive people

I also work on how we make sport more inclusive for all
