The Face of the Game: Women's Hockey in North America
A half-day symposium bringing together hockey scholars, writers, players, and fans in celebration of the 2012 IIHF Women's World Championships.
Thursday, April 12, 2012
8:30 am – 12:00 pm
University of Vermont, Memorial Lounge, Waterman Buliding
"The Face of the Game: Women's Hockey in North America" is a half-day symposium examining how women's hockey is literally and figuratively changing the face of the game in North America. As women's hockey has risen to prominence in Canada and the US, it has become increasingly difficult to think of the word "hockey" without imagining it to be a sport played by both men and women. "The Face of the Game" will use a roundtable format comprised of both academics and some of Canada’s finest hockey writers to foster an engaging conversation about the role women's hockey (and sport in general) plays in North American culture, particularly in how we understand and construct gender within sport.
Speakers include:
• Cara Hedley, author of 20 Miles, a widely read and studied novel on women's hockey. PhD student, University of Calgary.
• Richard Harrison, author of Hero of the Play, a best-selling collection of poems about hockey, and co-editor of Now Is the Season, a collection of essays on hockey. Associate Professor of English, Mount Royal University, Calgary.
• Dr. Angie Abdou, author of the bestselling sports novel The Bone Cage and an Instructor of sports literature. (College of the Rockies, Cranbrook, BC)
• Dr. Paul Martin, Expert on hockey in Canadian literature and former Canadian Studies Director at UVM. Faculty Development Program, MacEwan University, Edmonton.
• Dr. Andy Holman, editor of Canada's Game: Hockey and Identity. Professor of History, Bridgewater State University.
• Dr. Jeff Gerson, author of a new study on women coaches in NCAA and Canadian University hockey. Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Massachusetts Lowell.
• Meg Hewings, General Manager of the Stars de Montréal Women's Hockey Team, journalist, and graduate student at McGill University.
