Creating A Pack: An Exploration of Support Systems Between ASC Athletes (Soka Chan)

As students at Agnes Scott, we were interested in exploring the support systems that have been created between athletes at Agnes Scott, queer and otherwise. Through multiple interviews we discovered that while queerness is generally associated with sexuality, these athletes had been queered by the Agnes Scott community in other ways. These women share with us their experience with the their dual identities and give us a glimpse into the safe space they have created in order to support one and other. We hope that this project helps listeners to expand their narrow definition of queer and recognize the importance that community has on people from all walks of life.
