The key issue to be discussed is the pronounced and structural underrepresentation of women within North American secondary social studies education (SSED). Women's stories in history education account for only 11% of the content; therefore, this interactive session will explore areas within the Alberta social studies curriculum that teachers can integrate contributions of women throughout history in a meaningful way. This session will approach the issue through a lens of sport, highlighting Canadian women in sport and their contributions to our historical narrative. Lastly, teachers will have the opportunity to share their instructional practices and resources that highlight the voices and perspectives of women throughout history.
