Autoren-Porträt
Matt Ventresca is a postdoctoral associate in the Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of Calgary (Alberta, Canada) where he is affiliated with the Integrated Concussion Research Program. Dr. Ventresca previously completed his PhD at Queen's University and was postdoctoral fellow in the School of History and Sociology at the Georgia Institute of Technology (USA). Matt's research concerns the intersections of social inequalities, media, and science in the contexts of sport and health. His current work focuses on the sociocultural implications of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in sports contexts, centering, specifically, on the processes through which knowledge about TBI gets produced through media representations and scientific research practices. Matt studies the sociocultural dimensions of pain and injury in sports more broadly, as well as the promotional cultures surrounding popular men's health initiatives.Mary G. McDonald is the Homer C. Rice Chair in Sports and Society in the School of History and Sociology at the Georgia Institute of Technology (USA). A past president of the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport, Professor McDonald's research focuses on American culture and sport including issues of inequality as related to gender, race, class and sexuality. She recently has begun to expand this analysis by engaging Science and Technology Studies theories and methods to critically investigate sporting technologies. As Homer Rice Chair, she is directing the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts initiative, the Sports, Society, and Technology Program.
