Join the Sports and Society Institute for a virtual discussion with Dr. David Berri (professor of economics at Southern Utah University) and Dr. Nefertiti Walker (Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, and Equity, & Professor Sport Management at University of Massachusetts@Amherst) about their book Slaying the Trolls! Women’s sports are exploding. Attendance records are being set in soccer around the world. College stars like Caitlin Clark have people waiting in lines for hours to see her play.

We are seeking short (maximum 20-minute) research-based presentations from anyone who has original research into cricket which they would like to share.
