Published: Dec. 13, 2023, 4:51 p.m.

How does the study of sport history help us understand our society? This episode we speak with historian Dr. Taylor McKee, Associate Professor in the Department of Sport Management, about how understanding sport helps us understand our society. We discuss his research on violence and masculinity in hockey and the long history of advocating for change in the sport. Dr. Taylor also shares his work on the use of sports like hockey in building a national identity and colonizing Indigenous peoples.\xa0\nAs always, we pull back the curtain on academic work, discussing academic journals, the publishing process, and the value of sharing university research with the public.\n\xa0\nLinks\nNiagara 2022 Canada Summer Games at Brock University\n"The Toronto Star is making the right move by renaming the Lou Marsh trophy" by Taylor McKee (6 Oct. 2022,\xa0The Conversation)\n"Rewriting the rule books: ensuring gender equity in Canadian hockey" by Taylor McKee (22 June 2022,\xa0The Conversation)\nTaylor McKee's articles on\xa0The Conversation\xa0\nGiancarlo, A, Forsyth, J, McKee, T & Ti Hiwi, B. \u201cMethodology and Indigenous memory: Using photographs to anchor critical reflections on Indian residential school experiences.\u201d Visual Studies.
