Dr. Emily Beamon was recently invited to travel to Newcastle University (Newcastle, UK) to present research on the theory of Intersectionality. Dr. Beamon’s research explored the role of Intersectionality in the context of U.S. collegiate sports, and how having multiple, marginalized identities impacts an athlete’s mental health.
Dr. Beamon was specifically invited to speak on a panel of researchers who employ an Intersectional lens to examine health inequities. The conference also explored Intersectionality within the realm of politics, space and place, and misogyny and gender-based violence.
