| Abstract: | This paper analyses the explanations organizational members used to make sense of the meanings and practices of gender equity. The study was situated in a Canadian university athletic department in which gender equity was an espoused organizational value, but gender inequities were evident. The results show that the explanation for the gap between what was espoused and what was enacted centered on two dominant, but contradictory, themes. These themes are a denial of gender inequities and a rationalization of gender inequities. This suggests that respondents often understood inequities as expected, natural or normal. |
