Research and Original Creative Work

My research examines the complex and often contradictory articulations between contemporary sporting practices and the broader social formations in which they are located, experienced, performed, contested and deployed. It is interdisciplinary in nature, residing at the intersections of media studies, advertising/consumer culture, geopolitical economy and cultural studies/critical theory. And it is motivated by a deep recognition that the cultural arena represents the clearest point of entry into everyday operations of power, knowledge and identity, one in which culture is always performative and pedagogical, and hence always political, and too frequently racist and sexist. More specifically, my research focuses topically on issues related to the cultural and geopolitical nature of the contemporary sporting popular. It critically interrogates the production and circulation of global/local particularities with respect to global sport media (i.e., cinema, television, advertising, technology). It actively enquires into the "conditions of emergence" that constitute, signify and re-signify popular forms of sport/physical cultural identities in late-capitalism. And it negotiates issues related to neoliberalism and democracy, especially with respect to sport mega-events, stadium construction projects, and the ways in which citizenship has come to be been redefined via acts of consumption. Epistemologically and ontologically, I also engage with the philosophy of qualitative inquiry, especially as it relates to the practical and political dimensions of the research act in its myriad forms, including ethnography.
