Abstract

In this chapter Pinar Öztürk, writing in her second language, illustrates the ways a small group of Turkish feminist activists have challenged the tradition of sport science in Turkey. Pinar explains her position as activist and PhD student concerned with fighting for equality and social justice. She shows how her worlds of education and activism come together through her active involvement with Kadinlar için Spor ve Fiziksel Aktivite Derneği,. She explains the work of KASFAD since its inception in 2012 and provides a number of examples of feminist intervention and praxis; she rightly includes forums, symposiums, conference sessions and the publication of the book Sporun Toplumsal Cinsiyet Halleri.
