I Where's the Line? an Analysis of the Shifts in Governance of Women's Where’s the Line? An Analysis of the Shifts in Governance of Women’s Lacrosse, 1992-1998 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Melissa C. Wiser, M.A. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Sarah K. Fields, Advisor Mary Thomas Mollie Blackburn i Copyright by Melissa C. Wiser 2013 ii Abstract In 1998, eight separate organizations merged to form US Lacrosse, the national governing body for both men’s lacrosse and women’s lacrosse. Before the change in structure, the United States Women’s Lacrosse Association governed women’s lacrosse, while numerous organizations managed the men’s game. The organizational shift represented the first time these two distinct sports would be administratively joined in the United States. A key motivating factor in the design of the merger was the long-term goal of inclusion at the Olympic Games; a base requirement of this attempt was one national governing body for one sport in one nation. Although men’s lacrosse and women’s lacrosse share a common name, the sports are historically distinct in course of play, field markings, and permissible physical contact. While located in broader sport systems rooted in gender equity and the notion of “separate but equal,” (e.g., Title IX and the Olympic Charter), men’s lacrosse and women’s lacrosse are presented as different versions of the same game. This faulty assumption ignores the history of each and forecloses sport options for men and women who want to play the lacrosse that is not available to them. Thus, I argue that although it attempted to achieve gender equity for the lacrosses and their representatives, the merger that created US Lacrosse is problematic due to its founding premise that conflates the sports and constrains the future of women’s lacrosse specifically. ii Dedication Dedicated to Grandmom Emilie Luise Lutz Horel 1913-2011 iii Acknowledgements Although it may feel isolating at times, a dissertation is a communal process. I am indebted to numerous people. First and foremost, I would like to thank Sarah Fields, my advisor, for her encouragement and creativity. She consistently devised new ways for me to consider not just the material but the entire intellectual process. My stubbornness and perfectionism frequently led to periods of limited productivity, but she constantly reminded me of the importance of my work and her faith in me as a scholar and as a person. I also appreciate the commitment of my committee members. Mary Thomas, whom I met in my very first graduate seminar, has challenged me intellectually for years and supported my efforts to conceptualize the power of a line on a field. Mollie Blackburn, whose energy and vigor for knowledge is infectious, triggered fresh excitement in my work after our discussions. In addition, several professors served on my exam and proposal committees and gave me feedback on the direction of this project. Melvin Adelman, and Sue Sutherland offered me valuable initial insights; Susan Bandy, who is generous with her time, was an important presence during this transitional period. Of course, this dissertation would not have been possible without those whom I interviewed. Their willingness to make time to meet with me in their busy lacrosse schedules and to share their stories was invaluable. Their contributions were absolutely critical to this project. Without them there would have been no dissertation. iv My friendships have been extremely important to me in this lengthy process. Those whose time in Sport Humanities overlapped with mine were great friends. Claire Williams, in particular, was also a mentor and helped guide me through many steps. Lindsay Pieper, Dain TePoel, Andrew Linden, and Lauren Brown are friends who aided me on numerous occasions and made challenging my thinking enjoyable. Outside of Ohio State, Elaine Stowell has been wonderful. She generated the field diagrams in Chapter 2; whenever I need assistance, Elaine is there—on the field and off. Without the frequent phone calls with Jennifer Hansen-Glucklich, a dear friend who is always so far away, I never would have been able to face this process let alone write it all down. In addition, perhaps a practical matter, but no list of thanks would be complete without some acknowledgment for the undo feature in Microsoft Word. In a house full of cats, this function has proven to be invaluable on numerous occasions. Over the entire grad school experience, my family has demonstrated amazing patience as well as love and support. My parents, Alan and Susan, have each developed the unique skill set of composing pep talks on demand. And my two older brothers, Jeff and Scott, thankfully cut back on the sisterly teasing the last few months, so I could focus. Now, I look forward to being able to travel east again to see them, and my sister- in-law Gina Tesauro and my nieces Sydney and Noelle, more often. Towards the end I could hear, “it’s twelve moves away but it’s there.” It kept me going. Mom, kkccbbbbb. Finally, I would like to thank Linda Strapp, who has had to live with this dissertation almost as much as I have. I needed her to be there whenever I hit “send,” and she always was. v Vita June 2000 . ..

The organization rescinded the decision shortly thereafter, but subsequent to this initial vote, leaders in the women’s lacrosse community scrambled to resist the pro-helmet momentum the vote ignited. In February 2011, the New York Times published an article “A Case against Helmets in Lacrosse” that articulated an anti-helmet stance and highlighted key issues of safety in the contentious debate, namely whether or not increased equipment would help prevent concussions and other head and face injuries.1 The potential inclusion of helmets incited a heated dialogue that articulated notions of how lacrosse should be played. This dissertation is not about helmets. Nevertheless, helmets serve as a symbol within the sport of women’s lacrosse and frame my entrance into the story of the organizational merger that created US Lacrosse. In 1998, eight separate associations joined to form one national governing body for lacrosse; this administrative shift was the first time that the sports of men’s lacrosse and women’s lacrosse in the United States were unified under one broad-based governance structure. The change was significant in that two disparate games coalesced into one system of governance. This dissertation is about the process of shifting into that system. 1 Alan Schwarz, “A Case Against Helmets in Lacrosse,” New York

NEW DIRECTIONS OF PLAY: NATIVE AMERICAN ORIGINS OF MODERN LACROSSE A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Arts History by Jeff Carey August 2012 Accepted by: Dr. Paul Anderson, Committee Chair Dr. James Jeffries Dr. Alan Grubb ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to provide a history of lacrosse from the seventeenth century, when the game was played exclusively by Native Americans, to the early decades of the twentieth century, when the game began to flourish in non-Native settings in Canada and the United States. While the game was first developed by Native Americans well before contact with Europeans, lacrosse became standardized by a group of Canadians led by George Beers in 1867, and has continued to develop into the twenty- first century. The thesis aims to illuminate the historical linkages between the ball game that existed among Native Americans at the time of contact with Europeans and the ball game that was eventually adopted and shaped into modern lacrosse by European Americans.

  • Toronto Has No History!’
    ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY By Victoria Jane Freeman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto ©Copyright by Victoria Jane Freeman 2010 ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Victoria Jane Freeman Graduate Department of History University of Toronto The Indigenous past is largely absent from settler representations of the history of the city of Toronto, Canada. Nineteenth and twentieth century historical chroniclers often downplayed the historic presence of the Mississaugas and their Indigenous predecessors by drawing on doctrines of terra nullius , ignoring the significance of the Toronto Purchase, and changing the city’s foundational story from the establishment of York in 1793 to the incorporation of the City of Toronto in 1834. These chroniclers usually assumed that “real Indians” and urban life were inimical. Often their representations implied that local Indigenous peoples had no significant history and thus the region had little or no history before the arrival of Europeans. Alternatively, narratives of ethical settler indigenization positioned the Indigenous past as the uncivilized starting point in a monological European theory of historical development. i i iii In many civic discourses, the city stood in for the nation as a symbol of its future, and national history stood in for the region’s local history. The national replaced ‘the Indigenous’ in an ideological process that peaked between the 1880s and the 1930s.

  • Annual Report 2013 - 2014
    Annual Report 2013 - 2014 Lacrosse Scotland SC282483 – AGM – 24/5/2014 – Annual Report 2013-14 www.lacrossescotland.com President’s Speech – Jane Claydon Thank you very much for coming to the AGM this afternoon. An article in the Daily Telegraph caught my attention a few weeks ago. It addressed the issue of volunteering. It said: When you consider the benefits of volunteering – meeting friends, learning new skills, finding a job, - the only surprise is that we are not all breaking down the door of the nearest volunteer group. Lacrosse Scotland has always struggled to find volunteers for decades – it is not a new issue - but perhaps this year has been the worst ever and the board have been perilously near being unable to make any decisions because of the lack of Directors. Only three Directors have been working in recent months. Without a strong board, where all the positions are filled and all the Directors are committed to attending meetings, Lacrosse Scotland cannot operate. I was therefore delighted that our plea for volunteers to come forward to fill all the board posts for the coming year was heard and so we have today candidates for all the vacancies. These vacancies on the LS Board must be filled if we have any chance of making a go of Lacrosse Scotland in future and receiving financial support from sportscotland. Volunteering is a vital part of the organisation of LS and running the company with three people is unsustainable. That said a remarkable amount has been achieved this season and there have been some great outcomes.

  • Kolomoki Memoirs
    Kolomoki Memoirs By Williams H. Sears Edited with a Preface By Mark Williams and Karl T. Steinen University of Georgia and University of West Georgia University of Georgia Laboratory of Archaeology Series Report Number 70 2013 Preface Mark Williams and Karl T. Steinen This document was written by Bill Sears about 1988 at his home in Vero Beach, Florida. He had retired in 1982 after a career teaching anthropology and archaeology at from Florida Atlantic University. He was working on a book of his professional memoirs, intended to summarize the many archaeological sites he had worked on in Georgia and Florida from 1947 until his retirement. He wrote chapters on his 1948 excavation at the Wilbanks site (9CK5) in the Allatoona Reservoir (Sears 1958), on his 1953 excavation at the famous Etowah site (9BR1), and on his 1947-1951 excavations at the Kolomoki site (9ER1) published in four volumes (Sears 1951a, 1951b, 1953, 1956). These three sites constituted the bulk of his archaeological excavations in Georgia. Apparently he never wrote the intended chapters on his archaeological work in Florida, and the book was never completed. Following his death in December of 1996 (see Ruhl and Steinen 1997), his wife Elsie found the three chapters in a box and passed them on to one of us (Steinen). The chapters on Etowah and Wilbanks are being published separately. The document we present here is his unpublished chapter on the Kolomoki site. It provides a fascinating look at the state of archaeology in Georgia 65 years ago and is filled with pointed insights on many people.

  • SSA Annual Review 2014-15
    Notes from the Chairman Lee Cousins Following the compilation of our Strategic Framework in the previous year we have started the journey of providing the enhanced service to members which they asked of us. You will see from this Review that this has led to the introduction of the concept of shared services amongst and between our members. The Shared Administration Service and SSA Collaborative Pension Scheme noted below are two excellent examples of this concept. The SSA Board and staff will be consulting with members on how this concept can be expanded for their benefit. This growth, however, was not at the expense of continuing to provide our members with collective and bespoke support and a strong co-ordinated voice through consultation, representation and advocacy. Meetings, discussions and seeking solutions with such diverse bodies as Forestry Commission Scotland, Police Scotland, Highland Council, Scottish Association for Mental Health, the BBC and Safeguarding in Sport are illustrations of this work; alongside the always on-going interaction with Scottish Government Ministers, their departmental civil servants and Parliamentary Committees and MSPs. The areas of sport and society, that our members expect us to engage with on their behalf, is ever widening and to this end we enlarged our Board adding expertise in Health and Well-Being. We remained committed to maintaining our close connection with our members through groups, forums and consultations; with this connection being carefully monitored through our Membership Satisfaction Survey. The Board was delighted to note that overall satisfaction rose compared to the rating for last year; but it spent considerable time analysing and reacting to the comments, both critical and complimentary.
