Description

Nicole Neverson is an associate professor in Sociology at Ryerson University. She began teaching Sociology of Sport courses in 2006 and has been doing so at Ryerson since 2009. Her current research interests are grounded in the areas of the mediated representation of marginalized groups, sports culture, and critical pedagogies. Her most recent publication examines how winter sports culture in Canada offers us the opportunity to understand whiteness, race and white supremacy via seemingly benign and ritualistic cultural practices. Dr. Neverson’s collaborative work, Inhabiting Critical Spaces: Teaching and Learning from the Margins at Ryerson University, highlights the lived realities of racism and resistance to critical knowledge that instructors and students in the classroom and wider campus navigate across academic disciplines, programs and the everyday.
