Finding Dorothy Harris: One Asian Male Feminist's Search for the Mother of Sport Psychology

초록

Within the field of sport psychology, there have been significant gender discrepancies in terms of how we would recognize, interpret, and appreciate the scholarly works of our past. Specifically, early women scholars and their contributions to the field have been largely ignored (Oglesby, 2001). This paper attempts to balance this apparent discrepancy by rediscovering one of the most prominent women scholars in our field, Dorothy V. Harris. Acknowledging the legacies and learning from their past would be the first step toward the complete understanding of our field. This understanding would be beneficial for the healthy development of sport psychology in the future.
