This one-day conference aims to bring together the IU sociology community. During the conference, we will have a 75-minute faculty lunch. Our hope is to share resources, programming notes, and brainstorm how best to support each other's efforts. In addition, we hope to provide an annual dissemination outlet for sociology faculty and students.
Sociology Research & Teaching Conference
Keynote Address
Sport as a Means for Understanding Intersectionality
The purpose of this keynote is to draw attention to how sport phenomena centering Black women athletes is reflective of Black women’s broader cultural, social, and political issues.
Keynote Speaker
Ajhanai “AJ” Keaton, Ph.D., studies how race and gender (in)equity shapes organizational structures, norms, and experiences. Keaton’s scholarship is interdisciplinary, as her examination of sport phenomena intersects with management, higher education, and sociological communities. As an interdisciplinary scholar, she has published in the following peer-reviewed academic outlets: Journal of Negro of Education, Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics, and Journal of Sport Management to name a few. Her academic work is informed by the theoretical prescriptions of Black feminism, institutional theory, and critical theory.
