Prof. Adam Shoemaker with Prof. Clare Hanlon

Fast-forward to today, and Clare Hanlon is spearheading change for women in sport. Clare’s research has prompted major sporting teams to rethink their uniform policies, helping women and girls feel more comfortable on the field. Now, her research has gone global with the support of PUMA - and the results are astounding. I had a fantastic chat with Clare for the People of VU podcast. We ventured beyond the academic, delving into personal insights and addressing the pressing topic that's gripping the world today — the Women's World Cup.
