I am (Dan Coogan is) a second-year PhD student at George Washington University's Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration, and my concentration is in Race, Ethnicity, and Public Policy. My primary research area is race and sports, with a focus on how the American media portrays African American athletes. In particular I am interested in how the sports media uses images and language to shape the American publics' perception of African American athletes with respect to physical and psychological attributes. My previous research has looked at how the NBA's dress code affected (or targeted) different racial groups of players.
