The topic of gender and sports has
had a chequered history, with more
challenges being raised than solutions
generated. Though there have been countless instances of systematic discrimination and institutionalized apathy, there have also been stories of exceptional performances and
resilience over the years. The evolution in global gender discourses has now necessitated that the conventional discussions on sports and women be now expanded to consider the entire spectrum of gender. The recent advances in biology and genetics have also to be incorporated into academic discussions on sports for better integration of sport, gender, and science.

The objective of the seminar is to
discuss gender and sports within the context of India informed by the latest discourses and evidence. Themes related to the entire spectrum of these issues will be discussed.

Invited talks and paper presentations will
cover different areas of relevance, including biological advances and sports, gender disparity is sports, harassment and redressal, geographical factors, coaching etc. Invited speakers will include accomplished sportspersons, academics, and researchers.

The aim is to produce actionable and
policy-relevant insights and
recommendations for the long-term
transformation of sports from the perspective of gender equality and sustainable development.
