Sports & Society Initiative: Conversation with Tracie Canada

The Sports & Society Initiative is thrilled to be joined in conversation by Tracie Canada, the Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology and Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University.

 

Dr. Canada will discuss her new book: Tackling the Everyday: Race and Nation in Big-Time College Football. Excerpts from the book will be distributed in advance (e-mail ncohan@wustl.edu to be included), and select copies will be available for purchase.

Tracie Canada is the Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology and director of the HEARTS (Health, Ethnography, and Race through Sports) Lab at Duke University. She is a Black feminist anthropologist and ethnographer whose research uses sport to theorize race, kinship and care, gender, and the performing body. Her book, Tackling the Everyday: Race and Nation in Big-Time College Football (University of California Press, 2025), is an ethnography about the lived experiences of Black college football players.
