I had the opportunity to help set up and edit and also contribute to a blog called “Upfront/Onside” set up at Sports Illustrated to cover the Women’s World Cup this summer in Canada. The blog brought together authors who had earlier gathered at the “Futures of Women’s Soccer” conference here at Duke in April.
Here are links to my pieces:
On France’s Jessica Houara and the issue of the Hijab in Women’s Football (co-authored with Shireen Ahmed)
A First-Person Account of the France-Germany Quarter-Final
A First-Person Account of the USA-Germany Semi-Final (co-authored with Brenda Elsey)
