Fairchild, David L.
Quest, v46 n4 p369-84 Nov 1994
This paper uses Peggy McIntosh's (1983) interactive phase typology as a descriptive model within which to characterize contemporary sport with respect to certain gender issues, accepting gender as dynamically and culturally constituted. The paper discusses possibilities for transforming sport by enhancing the appreciation of sport and enriching the cultural understanding of gender. (SM)
