Amplification Avenue - Sports Participation: A conversation with NYU's Dr. Brianna Newland about Transgender Athletes

The most interesting conversations can often be about the topics you find the most difficult to discuss or the hardest in which to wrap your head around. In this conversation, host Skip Perham of the Suffolk University Sawyer Business School Marketing Department talks with Dr. Brianna Newland from New York University about the issue of transgender athletes. Dr. Newland is the academic director of undergraduate programs and an associate professor at the Tisch Institute for Global Sport. Her research explores the long-term sustainability of sports participation. The subject of transgender athletes has exploded into her field of study and she helps us go beyond the political fault lines to understand what we know, what we don't know and what needs to be studied on the issue.
