    The Many Meanings of Football

    Football has transformed from a grassroots game people played in the streets with a pig bladder, to an international, multi-billion-dollar game operating under a multi-national organisation. It's slick, it's corporate, but it's also grassroots and gritty. In the many meanings of the game, some of them seem to contradict, yet are still considered valid interpretations as to how the game can be 'read'. How? Using Bruno Latour's Actor Network Theory, I explore some of these meanings, mapping what meanings of football have been threatened with the announcement of the European Super League.

    Reviewing the UK Government's Race and Ethnic Disparities Report

    On March 31st, 2021, the UK government published a report which claimed institutional racism no longer existed in British Society. Interested by this bold conclusion, I reviewed the report, uncovering a bubbling disdain for academic rigour, qualitative data and the people who the report researches.  In this episode, I go through my findings of the report, some of the controversies surrounding it and what I hope to do with this report moving forward.
