Judy Davidson is an Associate Professor at the University of Alberta in the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation. She earned her PhD in Physical Education and Recreation in 2003 from the same institution, where she has been actively involved in research and teaching. Dr. Davidson's research interests focus on feminist and queer approaches to sport and leisure phenomena, exploring topics such as homonationalism and the international LGBTQ+ sport movement. Her work delves into queer feminist subjectivity, particularly through a SSHRC project titled 'Coming Moving Body: Physical Movement Mid-Life,' which articulates movement experiences for individuals who identify with alienated kinesthetic embodiments. In collaboration with colleagues, she investigates the impacts of downtown arena development on inner-city communities in Edmonton. Dr. Davidson also teaches undergraduate courses, including Applied Ethics in Sport and Physical Education, Philosophies of Leisure, and Cultural Studies of Sport and Leisure.
