I am in Paris this week to take part in a “Sport and Collective Memory” workshop organised by Sarah Gensburger and colleagues at @sciencespo.bsky.social Excited to explore agents and sites of memory in and around sports: much to from new colleagues! A memorable setting for the discussion too.

Shortly before, I was lucky to join our Media & Journalism Dept team on a research exchange in Oslo. Lovely to get to know colleagues in my new department better, as well as connect with media researchers @Universities of Oslo & OsloMet exploring mediation of Sport, Pop Culture, Environment & AI.

An eventful travel month to wrap up a busy year: Last week, I was at a workshop exploring #Paris2024 legacies and wider politics of sport. Thanks to Alexandra Yatsyk and @isabellburmester.bsky.social for organising and good to meet new colleagues here.
