Welcome to PRISM, a space where we explore Race, Representation, Inclusion, Sports & Media
We strive to uncover the social forces that shape belonging, representation, and exclusion through sports
Our approach
At PRISM, we take an interdisciplinary and socially engaged approach to research. Our work examines how race and identity are represented, negotiated, and contested within sport and media, drawing from diverse academic traditions and methodologies. We collaborate across borders and disciplines to reflect the complexity of these topics, and we engage with communities to ensure our research reaches beyond academia. Through critical inquiry, we aim to create space for new perspectives and transformative impact.
