Introducing the KINship Hub! 

A new initiative organized by KPE’s Office of Registrar & Student Services, the KINship Hub is a great way to connect with fellow kinesiology students and enrich your understanding of equity, diversity & inclusion.

The KINship Hub will be open every Tuesday from 3 – 4:30 p.m. and is located in the Warren Stevens Building (a.k.a the Athletic Centre), in Room WS2007. Come by and discover new ideas, try new activities and connect with new people!

Here’s what you can expect at the KINship Hub for October:

 

October 1: (Grad) Equity Talks: Sport & Media

While media serves as a form of entertainment, it also shapes and reflects our understanding of the world. Join us for a facilitated discussion about the impact of media representation from a sport perspective. We will discuss who is represented in sport and how it shapes our perception of belonging. 

Topics of discussion include:

  • Who gets represented in sport media? How do representation in sport shape our ideas of what an athlete looks like?  
  • How do racism and sexism show up in sports media?  
  • How can we challenge assumptions of who belongs in sport and physical activity?
