Searching for Women in Sport OERs

[Ame Maloney]

Good morning, 

I am supporting a faculty colleague who would like to convert their Women in Sport course to OER. My preliminary search came up rather scant and we are looking for resource recommendations!

Here is the course description:

This course examines the chronological history, analysis and interpretation of people, events, and issues that affect women in sports in past and present society. Physiological, sociological, and psychological aspects of female athletes as related to sports will be covered. Students will gain an understanding of the significant impact women have had on the sports world and how their significance will determine the future of women in sports. 
Topics will include: 

• the history of women in sport, 
• structural constraints facing women in sport, 
• race and ethnicity, 
• health benefits and risks for women in participating in sport, 
• the role of the media, 
• the sporting body, 
• Title IX, and 
• career opportunities for women. 

Thanks in advance for your time and insights!

Warm regards,

Ame
