“GET THAT SON OF A BITCH OFF THE FIELD!” SPORT IN UNIVERSITY CLASSROOMS By BRUCE LEE HAZELWOOD A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY Department of Teaching and Learning MAY 2019 © Copyright by BRUCE LEE HAZELWOOD, 2019 All Rights Reserved © Copyright by BRUCE LEE HAZELWOOD, 2019 All Rights Reserved ii To the Faculty of Washington State University: The members of the Committee appointed to examine the dissertation of BRUCE LEE HAZELWOOD find it satisfactory and recommend that it be accepted. ________________________________________ Pamela J. Bettis, Ph.D., Chair ________________________________________ Paula G. Price, Ph.D. ________________________________________ David J. Leonard, Ph.D. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This meandering journey only came to a successful end thanks to numerous people (and luck!). My mother, who no matter what I told her I wanted to do, supported me (even if I didn’t become a pastor like she wanted) and always believed in me. To the numerous educators, mentors, and students I have had the privilege of interacting with in numerous ways, the relationships I have with all of you added further motivation to complete this dissertation. To my committee, Drs. Pamela Bettis, Paula Groves Price, and David Leonard, I cannot thank you all enough. Pam, this has been an adventure, but one that stayed on course only thanks to your wisdom and guidance. I wasn’t ready and you had every justification to force me out, but you saw potential and an ability to change I didn’t know I had. Your patience, humor, and (needed) discipline helped me remain focused even through all the self-doubt. Paula, your creativity, guidance, and compassion are attributes I try to incorporate when I teach to the best of my abilities. It was a struggle for me, but you were the one that helped me make the switch to focus on education and pedagogy, not sociocultural critique. As with seemingly every student, you truly care about us, coming through in how you continually search for opportunities for us. Dave, for over a decade, you have mentored me, pushed me, and provided me more opportunities than I deserved, always believing in the abilities I didn’t see in myself. I would not have found my passion for education and teaching if you had not allowed me to teach select classes as an undergrad, and you trusted me enough (with no teaching experience) to offer me teaching positions. Without the three of you, earning a doctorate would never have been a consideration. To all my friends within and outside of my program: thank you! Those who have graduated to those who will graduate, your friendship and care is something I treasure. There are iv too many of you to name, but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Nicole, Matthew, Miah, Carolina, Courtney, and Manee. I don’t know if any of you know just how much your positive reinforcement and unwavering belief in my research and ability to earn my doctorate means to me; there was never a time you doubted me, and it truly means a lot. Thank you to all my research participants! I could not have accomplished this without your valuable insights. Your willingness to participate, particularly those of you on the east coast, is truly appreciated. I hope that your words and the insights I highlighted in this study are accurate representations, and this study is a suitable way to repay the valuable time you set aside for me. To my wonderful partner, Vanessa, your love, patience, and support leave me speechless. When I told you I wasn’t sure if I could finish, you told me the opposite. When I was out of work, you supported both of us with no complaints. You’ve put up with my cantankerous ass through these last six months of constant exhaustion and distraction. You always believed, and I found strength in your support. I truly am extremely lucky to have you as my partner. Finally, to Amaru, the greatest dog to ever walk the face of the Earth! Even though you have really stinky paws, taking you on walks, rubbing your belly, and lap-sits (for you) helped keep me calm and relaxed while refreshing my mind. Also, your funny faces and dream noises always succeeded in making me laugh no matter my mood; you truly are an amazing pup. v “GET THAT SON OF A BITCH OFF THE FIELD!”: SPORT IN UNIVERSITY CLASSROOMS Abstract by Bruce Lee Hazelwood, Ph.D. Washington State University May 2019 Chair: Pamela J. Bettis Discussions about sports continue to permeate the news and political realms and may prove to be a useful but underutilized tool to teach difficult subjects like race, gender, and sexuality. However, most scholarly work on sport focuses on a specific systemic inequality within a sport and/or how an issue affects sport and thus are sociological in nature, rather than providing educators strategies so that they can utilize sport as a pedagogical vehicle to teach systemic inequalities. Through semi-structured interviews with university educators, this dissertation examines how and why these participants employ sport to educate students on systemic social issues (racism, classism, sexism, homo/transphobia) in their classrooms Theoretical constructs from Critical Race Theory and Critical Masculinity Studies aided in understanding how discussions of race/White supremacy, gender/sex/patriarchy, and heteronormativity/homo/transphobia operated in a curriculum that draws from sports. Findings include the assumptions of participants in utilizing sport as critical pedagogy, particularly around sport being an access point both as content and as a humanizing factor for the educator. An important finding is participants utilized critical sport pedagogies in both sport-centered and non- vi sport-centered courses, highlighting an aspect of accessibility. Further, the study revealed how the identities of participants (which included disciplinary training as well as their race, gender, and sexual orientation) shaped their focus in teaching a critical sport pedagogy. Another finding focused on the varied strategies participants employed when utilizing a critical sport pedagogy, including the use of media and providing student choice for assignments and projects. Findings will prove valuable to educators, both in K-12 schools and higher educations (as well as informal schooling) as they ponder how and why to develop their own critical sport pedagogies. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................ iii ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................ v LIST OF TABLES ........................................................................................................ x LIST OF FIGURES ..................................................................................................... xi CHAPTERS 1.

    Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Antiquates the Antiquities Act

    The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back? Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Antiquates the Antiquities Act ERIC C. RUSNAK* The public lands of the United States have always provided the arena in which we Americans have struggled to fulfill our dreams. Even today dreams of wealth, adventure, and escape are still being acted out on these far flung lands. These lands and the dreams-fulfilled and unfulfilled-which they foster are a part of our national destiny. They belong to all Americans. 1 I. INTRODUCTION For some Americans, public lands are majestic territories for exploration, recreation, preservation, or study. Others depend on public lands as a source of income and livelihood. And while a number of Americans lack awareness regarding the opportunities to explore their public lands, all Americans attain benefits from these common properties. Public land affect all Americans. Because of the importance of these lands, heated debates inevitably arise regarding their use or nonuse. The United States Constitution grants to Congress the "[p]ower to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the... Property belonging to the United States." 2 Accordingly, Congress, the body representing the populace, determines the various uses of our public lands. While the Constitution purportedly bestows upon Congress sole discretion to manage public lands, the congressionally-enacted Antiquities Act conveys some of this power to the president, effectively giving rise to a concurrent power with Congress to govern public lands. On September 18, 1996, President William Jefferson Clinton issued Proclamation 69203 under the expansive powers granted to the president by the Antiquities Act4 ("the Act") establishing, in the State of Utah, the Grand * B.A., Wittenberg University, 2000; J.D., The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, 2003 (expected).

    The Effects of Sexualized and Violent Presentations of Women in Combat Sport

    Journal of Sport Management, 2017, 31, 533-545 https://doi.org/10.1123/jsm.2016-0333 © 2017 Human Kinetics, Inc. ARTICLE The Effects of Sexualized and Violent Presentations of Women in Combat Sport T. Christopher Greenwell University of Louisville Jason M. Simmons University of Cincinnati Meg Hancock and Megan Shreffler University of Louisville Dustin Thorn Xavier University This study utilizes an experimental design to investigate how different presentations (sexualized, neutral, and combat) of female athletes competing in a combat sport such as mixed martial arts, a sport defying traditional gender norms, affect consumers’ attitudes toward the advertising, event, and athlete brand. When the female athlete in the advertisement was in a sexualized presentation, male subjects reported higher attitudes toward the advertisement and the event than the female subjects. Female respondents preferred neutral presentations significantly more than the male respondents. On the one hand, both male and female respondents felt the fighter in the sexualized ad was more attractive and charming than the fighter in the neutral or combat ads and more personable than the fighter in the combat ads. On the other hand, respondents felt the fighter in the sexualized ad was less talented, less successful, and less tough than the fighter in the neutral or combat ads and less wholesome than the fighter in the neutral ad.

    Baylor's Brittney Griner Headlines 2012-13 Preseason 'Wade Watch' List

    Baylor's Brittney Griner headlines 2012-13 preseason 'Wade Watch' list ATLANTA (September 18, 2012) - Baylor center Brittney Griner, the 2012 State Farm® Wade Trophy winner, headlines the 2012-13 preseason "Wade Watch" list of candidates for the prestigious award, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association announced today. Connecticut leads all schools with three players on the 25-member preseason list. Five schools - defending national champion Baylor, Duke, Kansas, Nebraska and Penn State - are represented by two players each. Now in its 36th year, the State Farm Wade Trophy is named in honor of the late, legendary three-time national champion Delta State University coach, Lily Margaret Wade. Regarded as "The Heisman of Women's Basketball," the award is presented annually to the NCAA® Division I Player of the Year by the National Association of Girls and Women in Sport (NAGWS) and the WBCA. The preseason list is composed of top NCAA Division I women's basketball players who best embody Wade's spirit from 18 institutions and eight conferences. A committee of coaches, administrators and media from across the United States compiled the list using the following criteria: game and season statistics, leadership, character, effect on their team and overall playing ability. Notre Dame's Skylar Diggins, Delaware's Elena Della Donne and Georgetown's Sugar Rodgers join Griner on the preseason list for the third straight year. Alex Bentley of Penn State, Carolyn Davis of Kansas, Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley of Connecticut, Chiney Ogwumike of Stanford and Odyssey Sims of Baylor are making their second appearance on the list.
