Abstract

On this season finale, Nicole talks to colleague Dr. Akilah Carter Francique, Executive Director for The Institute for the Study of Sport, Society and Social Change (ISSSSC) at San Jose State, which continues the legacy and dialogue about athlete activism and the influence of sport in effecting positive social change. Akilah was part of a scholarly panel for the Fall 2020 Tucker Center Distinguished Lecture Series (DLS) where she talked about various types of rage experienced by Black women. We hear her talk more in depth about how she came to frame her remarks around rage, using anger as information as well as healing, and answer some audience questions we didn’t get to during the live lecture. We end with her advice to young female scholars about the initiatives and productive work of the ISSSSC.
