? Of The Year  (Episode 77)

There are a litany of awards given annually to the best person in XXX field. Today on the podcast, Shaunna and Lisa talk about Time Magazine’s Women of the Year and how it has attempted to atone for decades of excluding women from its prestigious trophy. Sadly, there are still many awards entitled “Man of the Year.” These awards may sometimes award a woman but over the course of their histories have given awards to women shockingly infrequently. Sport is definitely one of the fields where “Man of the Year” still reigns. Shaunna and Lisa encourage listeners to review the histories of their local sporting awards, whether in their state or their local club to understand what histories of exclusion exist for them. It is crucial to review the how and why of recognition exclusion to redress the imbalance. Tip: nominating/awarding one woman in 2022 is not sufficient.
