In this episode, Jess (she/they) and Natan (he/they) chat with Dr. Chen Chen (he/him) about the ways in which imperialism and settler colonialism manifest in sport. Chen is an assistant professor of sport management at the Neag School of Education. Chen takes an interdisciplinary approach to explore the intersection of sport with colonialism as well as social, racial, and environmental justice. He is particularly interested in how non-dominant epistemologies can mobilize sport, education, and movement spaces to be more just and equitable, facilitating more meaningful community-building towards decolonization and collective liberation.
