LGBT+ History Month Feb 2021 Lianne Sanderson Lily Parr LGBT in sport A greater proportion of LGBT+ people do not partake in sports compared to their non-LGBT+ peers; this may be because there continues to be high levels of LGBTphobia in sport, so LGBT+ people do not feel welcome, safe or respected. For several years, the Premier League has come together to show support for LGBT+ people. Across two match weeks players wore rainbow laces and captains wore rainbow armbands as well as ball plinth, handshake boards and substitute boards all featuring a rainbow design. Lianne Sanderson Lianne Sanderson has 50 caps for England and won a bronze medal at the 2015 World Cup. Her career has taken her all over the world, playing in the United States, Italy, Cyprus and England, where she won the Champions League with Arsenal Women. 'I was very different to most. I didn't grow up feeling like I was gay because I had a boyfriend and I loved him. I enjoyed the journey to finding my sexuality. What feels right, feels right. I am very lucky to come from a family who, regardless of my preferences, love me and who I am with, either way. My advice to my younger self would be: be exactly the same as you are now. I was the first openly gay footballer in England and one of the first in the world. When people ask me if that was hard, I answer no. It just feels right to use my platform to help others. If me being me does that, then I'm happy.' Lily Parr Lily Parr (26th April 1905 – 24th May 1978) A professional Women’s Association football player, she played as a winger, now known as a midfielder. During her career she scored 986 goals and was faced with many challenges in continuing her passion when the Football Association banned women from playing on their grounds. Lily lived most of her life near Preston with her partner Mary. In 2019, she was the first woman to be made an inaugural inductee into the English Football Hall of Fame. .

It is a monumental work, but he makes one schoolboy error. Obviously, the best object invented by humans is the football, at least since the ‘Olduvai stone chopping tool’ allowed us to crack open bones and suck out the protein-rich marrow, but somehow it doesn’t make it into MacGregor’s 658-page masterpiece.

Lily Parr Transcript
Lily Parr - Transcript It was Boxing Day 1920 and the Goodison Park football stadium, was alive with excitement. Thousands had turned up to see one of the most hotly anticipated matches of the year. The Dick, Kerr team were scheduled to play their rivals St Helen’s and sixty seven thousand people had flocked to the ground, desperate to support their teams and enjoy the skill and agility of their favourite players. When the ground reached its capacity of 53,000, the rest were turned away, but those with a lucky ticket were not to be disappointed. After an exhilarating 90 minutes the Dick, Kerrs won 4 - 0 and the roar from the crowd was deafening. But this was not a match played by men. These were the elite players of women’s football and though they didn’t know it then this day was to mark the pinnacle of the women’s game for a long time to come. Only the following year their dream of a well funded and well supported women’s game would lie trampled underfoot, forced to lie dormant for another 50 years, before it could slowly start to emerge again. Today we hear the story of the sporting superstar of the day, Lily Parr, a football legend with a kick like a mule… Lily Parr was born into a large and loving working class family in 1905 in St Helens, which is now a part of Merseyside. She was the fourth of eight children and as a young girl learned to play football from her older brothers and was equally adept at rugby.

Trafalgar Square Spring 2021
Trafalgar Square Spring 2021 The Ice Palace(2nd Edition) Tarjei Vesaas, Elizabeth Rokkan Summary In rural Norway, one evening after school, 11-year-old Siss and Unn strike up a deep and unusual bond. When the next day Unn sets off into the wintry woods in search of a mysterious frozen waterfall, known locally as the "ice palace," and does not return, a devastated Siss takes it upon herself to find her missing friend. The Ice Palace is one of the most memorable achievements in modern literature thanks in large part to Vesaas's unique command of a sparse, figurative, and fragmentary style. As part of the new and improved Peter Owen Cased Classics series, this edition features a false die cutting in the shape of an ice shard on the dust jacket, while printed on the cover board is the work of acclaimed contemporary artist Kaye Donachie. Contributor Bio Tarjei Vesaas (1897–1970) was a Norwegian poet and novelist whose sparse, poetic, and figurative style won him international acclaim and three separate nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Best known and best loved of his works are The Ice Peter Owen Publishers Palace, for which he won The Nordic Council's Literature Prize; The Birds; and The 9780720620146 Pub Date: 12/15/2020 Bridges. Vesaas is an enduring literary figure in his native Norway where his home $26.95 Can. has become a site of pilgrimage.

Routledge Handbook of Sport, Gender and Sexuality
Greater Houston Track Club Vol Edu Greater Houston Track Club Vol Edu ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF SPORT, GENDER AND SEXUALITY The Routledge Handbook of Sport, Gender and Sexuality brings together important new work from 68 leading international scholars that, collectively, demonstrates the intrinsic interconnectedness of sport, gender and sexuality. It introduces what is, in essence, a sophisticated sub-area of sport sociology, covering the field comprehensively, as well as signalling ideas for future research and analysis. Wide-ranging across different historical periods, different sports, and different local and global contexts, the book incorporates personal, ideological and political narratives; varied con- ceptual, methodological and theoretical approaches; and examples of complexities and nuanced ways of understanding the gendered and sexualized dynamics of sport. It examines structural and cultural forms of gender segregation, homophobia, heteronormativity and transphobia, as well as the ideological struggles and changes that have led to nuanced ways of thinking about the sport, gender and sexuality nexus. This is a landmark work of reference that will be a key resource for students and researchers working in sport studies, gender studies, sexuality studies or sociology. Jennifer Hargreaves is retired as a full-time university professor. She is now a freelance writer/ consultant/guest speaker. An early pioneer of sport sociology specializing in gender issues and the politics of the body, she has published prolifically with translations
