Dr. Tracie Canada receives Individual Honorable Mention

Dr. Tracie Canada (Cul-Anth) received an honorable mention for the GAD New Directions Award. Dr. Canada’s ethnographic research into the lived experiences of college football players and their families has made a splash in the world beyond anthropology, with essays published in The Guardian, Time, Scientific American, and Essence, and dozens of media interviews in venues such as NPR. The Black feminist lens she places on the college football industry provides us with a critical interpretive guide to the dark synergy of race and sports in American life.
