The Sports and Society Initiative will join the Department of Sociology in welcoming Michael Messner as its featured guest for a Research Roundtable. The event will feature an overview of his influential gender and sports research, along with extensive question and answer opportunities.
 
Messner is a prominent sports sociologist and professor of sociology and gender studies at the University of Southern California. His award-winning work has largely focused on how gender is structured, taught, and realized in families, youth sports, and mass-media sports coverage. In these analyses, he has creatively used life-history narrative, participant observation, and content analysis techniques.
