Sex Testing in Sport: The Trouble with Testosterone
2021-10-20 12:30 (America/New_York) | Law School 3041
Join us for a talk with Professor Katrina Karkazis, PhD MPH, Professor of Sexuality, Women's & Gender Studies at Amherst College regarding "sex testing" in sport. For over a decade there has been contentious debate over sport eligibility regulations that limit women's permissible natural testosterone levels. Addressing and stepping beyond the narrow scientized framing of these debates as to whether higher testosterone gives some women an unfair advantage, this talk contextualizes these regulations within the decades-long practice of "sex testing" women athletes. Tackling the complexity of sex, the relationship between testosterone and athleticism, and the normative ideas about women's bodies that undergird these regulations, this talk reveals "T" as the great distraction from what is really at stake.
