A timely conversation on a quintessentially Canadian sport: As curling remains in mainstream conversations following the 2026 Olympic Winter Games, (re)Pebbling asks urgent questions about what belonging and inclusion can look like in a sport that is historically exclusionary. What would it mean to disrupt that while still loving the game? Also features a cameo from Olympian Rachel Homan! A bold, imaginative, visual exploration of belonging in sport: This book will resonate with anyone who has stepped into a space or played a sport where they didn't see themselves represented. It blends Afrofuturistic, dystopian, and speculative storytelling elements with cultural commentary, offering a sharp, elevated take on a multi-layered subject while remaining accessible and engaging. Expert insight, broad impact: Authored by Dr. Rich Norman (who has consulted for major organizations like Sportsnet, Curling Canada, and Tennis Canada), the book speaks to athletes, sports fans, scholars, and changemakers. Also for educators, allies, and folks looking for resources on diversity and inclusion. While rooted in curling, the book's message extends to all winter sports and beyond - sports are vital spaces of community-building, and smart books on this subject are few and far between! Includes bonus content: The book's endmatter features a conversation on race and sport with Richard Norman, sports expert and author Janelle Joseph, CBC Sports reporter Shireen Ahmed, and historian and anti-racism expert Christopher Taylor.
