The Short Corner: Women's Football & Spatial Justice with Nadia Bevan

Our conversation with Nadia Bevan continues our series profiling research about women's football. Angela Christian-Wilkes and Nadia delve into Nadia's ethnographic research on developing a women's football team at a club in Melbourne. We discuss the structures that include and exclude within community sport, building inclusive practices, and the messiness of insider research. Nadia is an early career researcher specialising in the barriers and enablers of access to sport for a range of groups, including women, girls, youth and the LGBTQIA+ community. She completed a PhD in Education at Monash University, looking at weight stigma as a barrier to physical activity. The Short Corner is a The Far Post's home for all things interesting, different and fun that don't fit under our usual programming of women's football analysis and news.

Congratulations

Congratulations on co-hosting with NZ the best World Cup ever in your beautiful countries. Enjoy the Matildas triumphs; winning is amazing and terrifying. The anxiety doesn’t stop just because your team defeats each comer. And the anxiety doesn’t stop because we all believe. The only time I actually knew in 2019 was in the Final because we had already feared and celebrated and feared the most difficult matches, playing (not always at our best) and defeating (OMG) Spain, (the hosts) France and (the rivals) England to get to the Final. The Final was painful, so painful, and then miraculous! Everyone loves the Matildas. Enjoy the love, too. I love the Matildas and not only because my teams are Chelsea, San Diego, and Gotham. No. There is something deeply satisfying about watching this Australian team win and not only because it is so gay. The Matildas have heart and soul and belief and the whole world is rooting for them to win the 2023 World Cup at home ⚽️ Really! You must know that the Far Post is the very best soccer podcast. Midge 91 and Tobin & Christen are giving you guys a run, but I do love listening to the four football ⚽️ Aussies podcast best. You’re great. Go Matilidas! ⚽️

Claire from Clare 🇮🇪

Thank you to this Fab Four for my introduction to the Dub. Really enjoyed learning some of the stories of the teams and players, the ebbs and flows of the season, culminating in a grand, grand final. I’ll be tuning in for next season! Hope ye can do some episodes for the Olympics? Enjoy your breather.
