Women's Collective Identity Formation in Sports
研究1990年代美国中西部一所大学女子冰球俱乐部的集体身份形成过程，分析集体行动如何挑战男性主导机构中的性别歧视结构，对理解体育中的性别平等运动有参考价值。
This research examines the emergence and development of a women's collegiate ice hockey club at a large university in the midwestern United States during the 1990s. The aim of this article is to assess the role that collective action plays in contesting sexist structures and practices within a traditionally male-dominated institution. This article draws on collective identity theory, as articulated in the social movement literature, to understand the process by which perceived injustices at an ice rink are translated into collective action on the part of a women's ice hockey club. The findings, based on fieldwork and interviews, demonstrate that the club's collective identity as a legitimate ice hockey organization was an important factor in the women's successful challenge of exclusionary practices at a university ice rink.
