15. Women's Studies Job Candidate Speaker Dr. CL Cole from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Tuesday, Feb. 27 4:00
Enchanting America: Sport, Sex & Race Americas fascination with extraordinary sport performances provides an overlooked opportunity to examine the cultural work that nationally sanctioned sporting bodies are asked to perform. Celebrated sporting bodies are heroicized vis-à-vis the imagined deviance sexual, racial, political of others. This interrelationship functions to revitalize Americas foundational claims by neutralizing the contradictions of American democracy/capitalism, and negotiating both domestic and international anxieties about sex and race relations. This talk is based on my manuscript: Good Sports? The Boundaries of American Democracy.
