An exciting PhD opportunity for fat non-binary, disabled BIPOC Canadians:
Oh wow. So going to the cottage and taking a swim is an act of "resistance." Apparently I was a social justice hero every summer during high school pic.twitter.com/vbTOeyeSMf

BIPOC? – "black, indigenous, and other people of color". Embarrassing not to know that.
More detail, if you're interested:
"My research is largely activist driven and broadly explores the relationship between physical cultures and intersectional justice. I question power relations and try to complicate our understanding of how, when, and where sport and/or physical cultures can be used to address issues of injustice. My doctoral research focused on South Asian experiences in ice hockey. I used the hockey rink as a site to examine cultural citizenship and post-9/11 racial discrimination in Canada. I plan to continue examining “race” and citizenship in Canadian hockey culture by studying the development of ethnically segregated sporting spaces. I am also branching into environmental studies with a critical exploration of how sporting goods are designed and how these decisions impact the end-of-life-stage of products."
