About the Author
William Bridel, PhD, is an award-winning associate professor in the faculty of kinesiology at the University of Calgary. He began a five-year term as senior associate dean of academic programs in 2025. His teaching and research focuses on sociocultural aspects of sport, physical activity, and the body. With a distinct interest in studying sex, gender, and sexuality in sport and the larger cultural context, Bridel's research has included a focus on 2SLGBTQIA people's inclusion in sport historically and in contemporary times, along with broader questions about equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility, and safer sport. Bridel's advocacy work includes being a founding member of the LGBTQI2S Sport Inclusion Task Force. He has also worked with and spoken to various community, provincial, and national sport organizations, challenging athletes, coaches, administrators, volunteers, and officials to address inclusion in multidimensional and meaningful ways. Beyond sport, Bridel was a member of a local advisory group for a research and advocacy project addressing the restrictions of blood and plasma donation placed on gay, bisexual, queer, and other men who have sex with men in Canada.
