| 6/4/26 |  Symposium Series: Changing Gears | The last - but certainly not least - episode of the Symposium Series is out now! Changing Gears is a powerful conversation that takes us across Canada, Nicaragua, and Uganda to explore how something as simple as a bicycle can become a tool for equity, opportunity, and social change.Through stories of grassroots leadership, youth empowerment, livelihood creation, and decolonial gender perspectives, this discussion highlights how communities are reimagining mobility and building safer, fairer, and more sustainable futures from the ground up.This session features voices from across these three countries: Lidieth del Socorro Cruz Centeno from CMJ in Nicaragua; Moses Ogwal and Janet Otte from Union of Hope in Uganda; and Claire McFarlane, Shebonti Khandaker, and Adam Hasham from Charlie’s FreeWheels in Canada.The session began with a screening of Changing Gears, a film co-directed by Professor Lyndsay Hayhurst and filmmaker Keiron Cobban, which explores grassroots efforts to address transportation inequalities and advance social equity through bicycles.Thank you for joining us throughout this Symposium Series. We hope this conversation leaves you inspired to think differently about mobility, community, and the possibilities for creating meaningful change.Featured in this podcast: Lidieth del Socorro Cruz Centeno, Moses Ogwal, Janet Otte, Claire McFarlane, Shebonti Khandaker, Adam Hasham, and Dr. Lyndsay Hayhurst.

| 3/25/26 |  Symposium Series: Exploring Climate Justice and Sport (for Development) | In our latest episode, we feature another recorded panel from the Advancing Mobility Justice, Gender Equity, and Climate Action through Sport Symposium. This episode, called 'Exploring Climate Justice and Sport (for Development),' brings together leading scholars working to critically explore and unravel the assumptions that underpin ‘sustainability;’ while also considering what happens when sustainability is mobilized without justice.Other key tensions explored in this conversation include:How climate action in sport for development is often fragmented The persistence of global North-South power dynamics in through SDP and environmental politicsWhy we need to move beyond technical fixes toward more ecological and relationship understandings of sport Importantly, this episode challenges us to rethink sport not simply as a tool for change, but as part of the material and environmental systems we are trying to transform. For those working across sport, development, climate and policy - this is an invitation to ask: 1) What are we sustaining, and at what cost? 2) Whose knowledge and priorities are shaping climate agendas? What is the role of the education sector in all this? 3) What might more justice-oriented approaches actually look like?Panelists featured in this panel include: Dr. Brad Millington, Associate Professor of Sport Management at Brock University; Dr. Brian Wilson, a Professor and the Director of the Centre for Sport and Sustainability in the School of Kinesiology at the University of British Columbia; Dr. Simon Darnell, a Professor and Director of the Centre for Sport Policy Studies at the University of Toronto. Dr. Christina Kwauk, Co-Founder and Chief Technical Officer at Unbounded Associates. Ultimately, this conversation invites us to see sport not simply as an ‘intervention’ - but as a site of struggle, responsibility, and possibility in the face of the climate crisis.

| 3/8/26 |  Symposium Series: Climate Action and Leisure: Grassroots Perspectives | In honour of International Women’s Day, we are sharing one of the most moving conversations from our 'Advancing Mobility Justice, Gender Equity, and Climate Action through Sport Symposium.’ In this powerful dialogue on 'Climate Action and Leisure: Grassroots Perspectives,’ four remarkable women share lived and deeply personal experiences that remind us sport and movement can be more than programming - it can serve as an infrastructure for dignity, survival, and community building - especially for girls, women, and gender-diverse people whose opportunities and mobilities are too often constrained.This panel through together activist, practitioners, and scholars working across diverse contexts, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kenya. This was a really profound, relational exchange that is grounded in a feminist ethics of care about what activism look like when it simply exiting in a public space and how that space itself becomes active resistance. First, we hear from Sana Mahmud, the Program Director for Free to Run in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. Sana is an athlete and development practitioner with a Master’s in International Development from Ohio University. She has managed and facilitated sport-for-development projects, workshops, and events across Pakistan, Ecuador, Russia, and Qatar, while partnering with organizations such as UN Women and Oxfam. A former captain of Pakistan’s national women’s football and basketball teams, Sana is passionate about advancing gender equity, youth development, and social change through sport.Next, we have Alison Carney, a Gender Inclusion in Sport Consultant. Alison is an independent consultant, facilitator, and researcher who supports community sport organizations to build inclusive, just practices that contribute to social change. Her research explores gender equity in sport, LGBTQI+ experiences in Sport for Development, and pathways to gender inclusion. She is currently collaborating with the UN Climate Change (UNFCCC) Sport for Climate Action team to develop and deliver virtual courses on sport for climate action, including a course for grassroots sport organizations to learn about and discuss taking climate action. Finally, we hear from Cyprine Odada is an Urban Planner and passionate champion for livable, inclusive cities. She is the Founder & CEO of Women Shaping Cities, an organization advancing gender-inclusive urban planning and mobility, and holds an Executive MSc in Cities from the London School of Economics.This session is beautifully moderated by the brilliant Dr. Holly Thorpe, a Professor in the University of Waikato Te Huataki Waiora School of Health and a leading scholar in the sociology of sport, gender, and youth culture. Holly's research examines action sports, gender and embodiment, feminist approaches to sport and physical culture, and the relationships between sport, environmental sustainability, and social justice. Holly has authored and edited numerous influential books and articles and is internationally recognized for her work on feminist methodologies, youth cultures, and sport for social change.Sana Mahmud's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sana-mahmud-02432482/Alison Carney's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alison-carney-5a170413/Cyprine Odada's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cyprine-odada-8524a530/Dr. Holly Thorpe's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/holly-thorpe-52024a8/Featured in this podcast: Sana Mahmud, Alison Carney, Cyprine Odada, Dr. Holly Thorpe, and Dr. Lyndsay Hayhurst.

| 2/18/26 |  Symposium Series: E-Bikes: Policy Considerations and Environmental Costs | Today, we are sharing another powerful recording from the 'Advancing Mobility Justice, Gender Equity, and Climate Action through Sport Symposium,' held at York University from October 15–17, 2025.Today’s featured panel - “E-Bikes: Policy Considerations and Environmental Costs” - delves into one of the more challenging mobility debates of our time. This is because e-bikes are often celebrated as a cleaner, ‘greener' alternative to car dependence - an accessible pathway toward low-carbon mobility. But what happens when we look more closely at the environmental and social assumptions embedded in these sustainability claims?This episode presents two distinct yet interconnected perspectives.First, we hear from Darnel Harris, Executive Director of Our Greenway, a Toronto-based not-for-profit working to build sustainable, green, and equitable communities through low-carbon micromobility solutions. Drawing on over 15 years of work at the intersection of affordable housing, food justice, and local mobility, Darnel shares applied research on barriers and opportunities to e-bike adoption. He explores how infrastructure, socio-demographics, and lived realities shape whether e-bikes are truly viable mobility tools.Next, we hear from Dr. Courtney Szto, an Associate Professor in the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen’s University. Building on her documentary Revolutions, Dr. Szto challenges us to consider the environmental footprint of bicycles at their end-of-life stage. To do this, she examines issues of bike waste, lithium batteries, limited repairability, and how contemporary e-bike production may reproduce extractive logics and waste-intensive systems.Darnel Harris' LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darnel-harris-072296127/Dr. Courtney Szto LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/courtney-szto-128aa222/Featured in this episode: Darnel Harris, Dr. Courtney Szto, and Dr. Lyndsay HayhurstMusic by: Kevin McLeod and Broke for Free via the 'Free Music Archive.'

| 1/29/26 |  Symposium Series: Carly Gilbert-Patrick's Keynote Session | First in the Advancing Mobility Justice, Gender Equity, and Climate Action through Sport Symposium Series, we hear from Carly Gilbert-Patrick, the Global Leader for Share the Road at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). In this role, she works closely with governments and partners worldwide to encourage them to prioritize investment in safe, inclusive infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians. In her keynote session, Carly invites us to rethink walking and cycling as among the most fundamental yet often overlooked forms of mobility. She situates active mobility within the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, highlighting how mobility justice intersects with gender equity, health, and sustainable development across Africa and the Global South. Drawing key links to sport and physical culture, she shows how reclaiming streets and enabling active mobility can empower women, youth, and marginalized communities while creating healthier, safer, and more sustainable futures.We hope you enjoy this episode and the rest of the series.Carly’s LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlygilbyp?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_appFeatured in this episode: Carly Gilbert-Patrick and Dr. Lyndsay Hayhurst.Music by: Kevin McLeod and Broke for Free via the 'Free Music Archive.
