Dr. Philipp Gollner invited Brenda Elsey (Hofstra University), Pablo M. Sierra (University of Rochester) and me on to The Assistant Professor of Football podcast to talk about what it’s like to “regularly teach, in American university classrooms, about football — its culture, its meaning, its history.”
As the show notes for the episode released on June 1, 2023, put it: “We talked about how that teaching is going, what would it be like to take a class with them, what do they assign, and how did they get into this subject in academia in the first place, and what good books are being written about the beautiful game beyond the well-known popular ones. And then we went on to opine more broadly, about the future of the game globally as well as here in the US, the next World Cup, why awful people run clubs, and what makes the beautiful game such a unique angle to understand the world.”
