    Winning Medals with Equity and Diversity: A symposium championing equity and diversity in Paralympic sports

    Friday, 8 November 2024, 9 am–3:30 pm, Online Event

    This symposium, hosted by Griffith University’s Inclusive Futures: Reimagining Disability, as a member of the Queensland Para Sport Network, brings together interdisciplinary researchers, community partners, and athletes to amplify the vital role equity and diversity can play in improving the performance of Paralympic teams and enabling athletes to compete at the highest possible standard.

    The symposium will explore equity and diversity in elite paralympic sport through the lens of exercise and sport science, social justice, tourism and leisure, sport management, disability rehabilitation and inclusion. Building toward the Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2032, this is a key opportunity for participants to incorporate the pillars of equity and diversity into their performance programs and research to drive performance.

    Join us as experts from Griffith University’s Sport and Gender Equity (SaGE) team delve into the critical aspects of investing in women's sports, exploring transforming policy frameworks, gender budgeting, and the transformative power of research.

    From dismantling stereotypes to ensuring inclusivity for women with disability, this conversation values intersectional thinking and diverse meanings of ‘sport’ to go beyond the scoreline. Our Griffith feminist sport researchers offer insights into reshaping the narrative and fostering greater equity in the world of sport on and off the field.
