How does the study of sport history help us understand our society? This episode we speak with historian Dr. Taylor McKee, Associate Professor in the Department of Sport Management, about how understanding sport helps us understand our society. We discuss his research on violence and masculinity in hockey and the long history of advocating for change in the sport. Dr. Taylor also shares his work on the use of sports like hockey in building a national identity and colonizing Indigenous peoples.
As always, we pull back the curtain on academic work, discussing academic journals, the publishing process, and the value of sharing university research with the public.
