SKHS UG LoungeCBC journalist Shireen Ahmed asks Dr. Szto why we should care about histories in women's hockey:
"Some might say that we need to know our history so we don't repeat it," Szto told me over text. "I am starting to feel more like we need to know our history so we understand how much it takes to create any movement of the needle, and how easily that can be undone.
"I think history is about connecting struggles across time, geography, and political contexts so that we have bigger pools of hope from which to draw."
Congratulations to Health Studies student, Ashton Miller-Melancon, on his achievement as an Academic All-Canadian! This recognition celebrates the eight best and brightest university student-athletes from across Canada.
