In this episode, Derek and Nathan speak with Courtney Szto about the ways in which race, multiculturalism, and gender in Canada shape the country's most prized sport. Courtney Szto is Assistant Professor of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen’s University. She is the senior editor of Hockey in Society, associate editor for Engaging Sports, and author of the forthcoming book with Rutgers University Press Changing on the Fly: Hockey Through the Voices of South Asian Canadians.
The three examine how a liberal discourse of multiculturalism disguises the persistent and varied forms of racial inequality that structure Canadian society in general and Canadian hockey in particular and talk about potential interventions, including the Policy Paper for Anti-Racism in Canadian Hockey co-authored by Courtney. They also delve into Courtney's personal connection to the game as player and fan and then get her takes on the landscape and future of women's hockey in the country.
