About this event
Join us at 12:30pm (AEST) on 19th June 2025 for this month's TASA Thursday Session: 'Sport healing and social justice.'
‘Sport, healing and social justice’ was a one-day workshop where sport’s role in mental health, healing and social justice was discussed, with innovative and embodied decolonising approaches presented. The workshop included key stakeholders in sport (including representatives from Sport Integrity Australia, the Australian Sports Commission, the Queensland Commission for Mental Health, Sport Associations, and mental health professions) brought together with sociologists working at the nexus of sport, leisure and wellbeing to work through and with trauma-informed approaches in sport.
Acknowledging the violence and harm that many girls, women and gender diverse people experience in and around sport, this workshop explored ways of understanding and addressing these issues and how best to support participation in socially just and safe ways. Workshop presenters included Kate Thomas, Centre for Healing and Social Justice Through Sport, Courtney Fewquandie, General Manager, First Nations Football, Football Australia, Butchulla & Gubbi Gubbi, Shirley Hicks, Psychotherapist and Founder of Trauma-Informed Yoga Australia, Ebony-Lee Corbyn, Trauma Strategy Lead, Queensland Mental Health Commission, Jessie Mccartney, Toowoomba Hockey Association, along with Adele Pavlidis, Diti Bhattacharya, Simone Fullagar, Georgia Munro-Cook, Erin Nichols, and Kirsty Forsdike.
Guiding questions for the day included:
1. With a focus on social justice and intersectional inequities (gender, race, culture, disability, sexuality, age, religion), how do we think about the complex interrelationships between sport/embodied movement, trauma and healing (harms, benefits, unknowns)?
2. How can different perspectives and ways of knowing deepen trauma informed approaches and more equitable sport provision?
3. What research, policy and practice gaps require further exploration to support equitable community participation in sport and movement?
Sport in society is changing. The rise of women in sport is the tip of the iceberg and with this tremendous change comes greater acknowledgement of the social dynamics of change. Sport is not just 'good for you', or a site of excitement and thrill in civil society. It is also a site of violence (emotional and physical), corruption, harm. The Garry Bourma Memorial Workshop allowed Australian sociologists to explore this dynamic and bring to the fore concepts of healing and social justice as interventions in this changing sport landscape.
