Jared Bahir Browsh is an Assistant Teaching Professor and Director of the Critical Sports Studies Program in the Department of Ethnic Studies. Dr. Browsh is a cultural historian, commentator and author examining the political economics of sports and popular culture including the relationship between culture, money, power, and identity in the United States and globally. Dr. Browsh’s recent work has examined the whitewashing of sports history and the erasure of the athletic and cultural contributions of African-Americans, women, and other historically marginalized groups and how the evolution of legal and economic policies that impact the sport and cultural industries both challenge and contribute to inequities in sport. Their upcoming publications include a chapter on cultural appropriation in the globalization efforts by the National Football League, a book on the impact of legalized sports gambling in the United States, and projects examining the use of animation in sports marketing, and the history of basketball clubs as a source of ethnic identity and community.
