OK, so my name is Allison and I am a PhD student studying sociology and athropology in relation to sport. Specifically my research is on nationalism and globalization in the Olympics.
I love sports, of most any kind, so this is kind of a way to have a more informal/less academic look into what I follow and research. While in my blog I really only cover the Olympics and women’s soccer I regularly follow baseball, football, basketball, and hockey (it’s been increasingly difficult since moving out of the US as I can’t watch games any more).
Teams I support:
Soccer -
US Women’s National Team (USWNT)
Chicago Red Stars (CRS) (1st choice WPS)
Boston Breakers (2nd choice WPS)
Football -
New England Patriots
Baseball -
Boston Red Sox
Chicago Cubs (secondary)
Basketball -
Boston Celtics
Hockey -
Boston Bruins
