Kecia and her students explored Title IX and the role that successful women’s programs play in shaping the expectations of young female athletes. The class then produced a documentary film entitled Mintonette. Using the Burris girls’ volleyball team as a vehicle, the films themes examine the program’s history of success, its impact on the local community, and the resulting expectations it has placed on the players. The film also investigates and addresses issues of gender, sexualization, and the marginalization of certain sports in an environment where teams compete for funding, recognition, and respect from the community. The class worked with Burris School and the Indiana High School Athletic Association.
