Sport. Race. Kinship. Masculinity.
I'm a socio-cultural anthropologist whose ethnographic research uses sport to theorize race, kinship and care, gender, and the performing body. My work focuses on the lived experiences of Black football players.
Currently, I'm the Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology & Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University. I am also the founder and director of the Health, Ethnography, and Race through Sports (HEARTS) Lab.
ABOUT TRACIE
“Canada’s insightful and deeply researched book, Tackling the Everyday, is a reminder not just that players’ experiences matter but that they are, in fact, central to understanding the entire system.”
— Jessica Luther, author of Unsportsmanlike Conduct: College Football and the Politics of Rape
