Current Work
By examining the intersection of sport and law from a historical perspective, my research endeavors to explain embedded, systematic discrimination and its current impact on access to participation and leadership opportunities in the sport industry for traditionally marginalized groups. I am currently embarking on a project which will use a critical race theoretical lens to study the law’s impact on African American’s access to and participation in sport. Furthermore, I hope to determine if social change in the greater society brought about greater access and inclusion for African Americans in sport or instead, if it was African American athletes’ participation and activism in sports that brought about access and inclusion in the greater society for African Americans.
