Title IX Rhetoric: The Fight for Equity in College Sports
Kelly Belanger, Ph.D. (Department of English)

In this talk, I share images and interview excerpts from my study of how advocates for college women’s sports used rhetorical strategies in the struggle to implement the 1972 Title IX law that forbids sex discrimination.
