Ep 10 - Toward a More Critical Sport Management

In this episode of Somatic, we talked with Dr. Newman about his article, and his view on the state of critical research in the sport management field as a whole. Original music has been recorded to provide an audial “landscape” to Dr. Newman’s thoughts and reflections. The musical pieces have been weaved together to create a seamless soundscape. The result is an episode that can hopefully contribute to current discussions of critical research within sport management, as well as showcase the potential in linking digital audio expression and platforms with critical academic discourse.

Dr. Joshua Newman is Professor of Sport Management at Florida State University. He is the author of Embodying Dixie: Studies in the Body Pedagogics of Southern Whiteness and Sport, Spectacle, and NASCAR Nation: Consumption and the Cultural Politics of Neoliberalism (with Michael D. Giardina). Dr. Newman previously served as President of the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport.
