In what ways are Black football players exploited and commodified?
What should sports fans do about it?
In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, anti-racism educator, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill interviews Dr. Tracie Canada about the college experience of Black college football players. They discussed Dr. Canada’s new book, Tackling the Everyday, which takes a much needed Black feminist lens to power, profit, and survival in college football.
Tracie Canada, Ph.D. is a socio-cultural anthropologist whose ethnographic research uses sport to theorize race, kinship and care, gender, and the performing body. Her work focuses on the lived experiences of Black football players.
Currently, she is an Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology & Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University. Dr. Canada is also the founder and director of the Health, Ethnography, and Race through Sports (HEARTS) Lab and affiliated with the Duke Sports & Race Project.
