<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ligatures:none">Skateboarding has been called an ‘alternative sport.’ Many alternative sports have garnered attention for their potential to challenge dominant hierarchies, norms, and power arrangements in
sport, and create an ‘alternative.’ Skateboarders often reinforce this perception claiming ‘skateboarding is for everybody,’ declaring it a sort of ‘safe haven’ for misfits, and adopting an ‘anti-sport/anti-jock’ mentality. Yet, in many ways, skateboarding
perpetuates hegemonic power arrangements that privilege cis/het white men from the Global North/West. Thus, in this talk I will center perspectives from marginalized or underrepresented actors within skateboarding that illustrate other possible social arrangements.
This talk will address skateboarding as a more-than-human process, queer-worldmaking project, and decolonizing/indigenizing practice. Visibilizing these non-normative, less privileged skateboarding networks can bring forward the latent alternative potentials
that are currently under-recognized and under-utilized in the dominant skateboarding culture and industry.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">Dr. Bethany Geckle is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Miami University of Ohio in the US. Her research explores themes of futurity, world-making, identity and belonging, and social change
through music and physical cultures. She is particularly interested in how skateboarding can demonstrate other ways of being, doing, and relating which can generate more inclusive and equitable realities and futures for marginalized groups to thrive. Her work
seeks to present ways in which our everyday leisure practices can transform conditions of possibility in accessible—and
<i>enjoyable</i>—ways.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
