This paper asks you to consider the question of change. What changes need to be made to make sport more equitable, inclusive, and accessible? How do we recognize the operations of power, both structural and ideological, and understand how power can both reinforce and challenge existing disparities? What actions can we take to make sport, and society, more just?

You are required to use at least three academic sources in this paper. Please cite them correctly using APA format, and remember to include both in-text citations and a reference page.
This paper should be 8 – 10 pages, double-spaced, normal margins, APA format.
