Karen Dunbar & Elly Goodman tell Janice Forsyth about Karen's Spoken Word Club

In episodes 9-12 of The Listening Sessions, Dr. Maddy Orr addresses the inequities and unique experiences of Indigenous athletes and people working in the Indigenous sport system. Dr. Forsyth discusses the use of sport as an assimilation tool in residential schools, the inequitable distribution of resources in the modern Indigenous sport system, and her research examining the experiences of Tom Longboat award winners.

This week we welcome Dr. Janice Forsyth, associate professor in sociology and the Director of Indigenous Studies at Western University. She has worked for over 20 years using sociological concepts to look at Indigenous sport in Canada. Her insight into the experiences of Indigenous athletes, whitestream sport, and how organizations and government have taken a step back in their progress to improve Indigenous sport, brings a necessary and honest discussion to the podcast. Theme: 'Shawn Mrazek Lives!:"
