Graeme Metcalf teaches full time in the Department of Sociology at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. He teaches a variety of courses including Issues in Popular Culture, The Sociology of Sport, and Men and Masculinities in the 21st Century. A fan of basketball and hip hop since his youth, his renewed interest in the sociology of sport as it pertains to race, popular culture, politics and social activism was reignited when he began teaching a course through Ryerson's RUN program, an arm of the University's Continuing Education program aimed at high school youth at risk. This new direction in academic research has produced various conference papers including presentations at The North American Association for the Sociology of Sport as well as The Canadian Sociology Association. He is currently in contract with SUNY Press in the writing of his first book, In Your Face: The Globalization of Basketball and Hip Hop. It is to be published in late 2019.
