Overview
My primary research interests include the anthropology of sport, spectacle, and mass media, material culture theory and interpretation, and critical pedagogy. My research among Olympic-level Canadian figure skaters examined the ways in which dominant definitions of Canadian nationalism merge with the performance of particular identities of race, class, gender, and sexuality within the sport. I have also conducted research on scuba diving tourism in the Virgin Islands.
Within the field of educational anthropology, I am interested in critical race theory within the context of multiculturalism and higher education curriculum development.
