  • Meet the Writer Behind the New Skateboard History Book
    6/27/20, 3:15 PM Page 1 of 18 Meet the Writer Behind the New Skateboard History Book ‘The Next Wave’ ILLUMINATED PAPER speaks to next-generation skateboard writer Daniel Fedkenheuer about chronicling skateboard history from 1999 until 2020 and the realities of working as a skateboard journalist in today’s digital- !rst media landscape. By Dirk Vogel - May 29, 2020 The early 2000s were a golden age of journalism in skateboard history. In the United States, the freshly rebooted Skateboarder Magazine explored the subtleties of skate culture with some of the day’s finest skateboard writers on staff. The Skateboard Mag elevated the look and quality of print magazines, while the holy trinity of Slap, Thrasher, and TransWorld Skateboarding maintained their unique voices at newsstands worldwide. Magazine publishing was even still lucrative enough to sustain outliers like the lifestyle driven TransWorld vehicle Stance. 6/27/20, 3:15 PM Page 2 of 18 Over in Europe, Kingpin Magazine set out to provide a platform for a unified European skate scene and published four language editions (English, French, Spanish, and German) on a monthly basis at the height of its print run. Every country across Western Europe was home to at least four regular print magazines, and the amount of words written about skateboarding – and the number of writers getting paid to pen them – was at an all-time high. Fast-forward to 2020 and look how times have changed. Printed skateboarding magazines have mostly gone the way of the dodo. The majority of skate mags from 20 years ago have either gone fully digital or ceased to exist.

  • Gender Marginalization in Sports Participation Through Advertising: the Case of Nike
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Gender Marginalization in Sports Participation through Advertising: The Case of Nike Kirsten Rasmussen * , Mikaela J. Dufur , Michael R. Cope and Hayley Pierce Department of Sociology, Brigham Young University, 2008 JFSB, Provo, UT 84602, USA; [email protected] (M.J.D.); [email protected] (M.R.C.); [email protected] (H.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The sport sector functions as a site of health-promotion by encouraging and enabling individuals to invest in their health and giving them tools to do so. This investment is often initiated by, or altered by, role modeling, or seeing other individuals engaging in sport. This could include family or peers but could also include depictions of sport in popular media. Inclusive role-modeling could subsequently encourage more sport participation, thus expanding access to health benefits that arise from sport. However, stereotypical depictions of sports role models could make sports seem like a more exclusive space and discourage participation. We examine a case study of a prominent athletic brand and their advertising to examine the ways they expand or reify stereotypes of gender in sport. Through a qualitative content analysis of 131 commercials released by Nike in the past decade, we explore whether their stated goals of being a socially progressive company extend to genuinely diverse and inclusive portrayals of gender in their commercials. Our results indicate that Nike commercials continue to treat sports as a predominantly and stereotypically masculine realm, therefore marginalizing athletes who are female, who do not fit traditional gender binaries, or who Citation: Rasmussen, K.; Dufur, M.J.; do not display traditionally masculine qualities.

  • Men's Football History 2017-2018
    Men’s Football History 2017-2018 Season Record: 5-3 (5th in the OUA) Playoff Record: 1-1 (lost to Western in OUA semi-final) Expectations were high for the Gryphons football program heading into the 2017 OUA season. Two narrow overtime losses, including a heartbreaker in London against the eventual Vanier Cup Champion Western Mustangs, was a difficult way to start off the year. But Guelph would show the resolve of a great team, winning five of the six remaining games on the regular season schedule, a run that started with a record-setting 81-10 home win over Windsor on Saturday, Sept. 9. That point total marked the most ever scored by a Gryphons team in school history. Guelph had to deal with the loss of their veteran quarterback James Roberts, who was hurt in the Homecoming game against McMaster, but backup Theo Landers took the reins and helped the team to three straight wins for a 5-3 record. The Gryphons entered the OUA playoffs with momentum and produced a big 30-8 road win over the Ottawa Gee-Gees in the quarter-final. Guelph’s solid season would come to an end in London when they fell to the powerful Mustangs in the semi-final. The Gryphons had several incredible individual achievements in 2017. Fifth-year running back Johnny Augustine climbed to second all- time on the U of G rushing list, while also establishing the school record for rushing touchdowns at 19. First Team All-Canadian kicker Gabe Ferraro had a year to remember, establishing the U SPORTS single-season record with 33 field goals, eclipsing his brother Daniel’s record of 26.

  • LOS PRIMEROS PASOS DE MARCHA a Presentation to the MARCHA Fortieth Anniversary Convocation Lydia Patterson Institute El Paso, Texas August 11, 2011
    Methodist History, 50:2 (January 2012) LOS PRIMEROS PASOS DE MARCHA A Presentation to the MARCHA Fortieth Anniversary Convocation Lydia Patterson Institute El Paso, Texas August 11, 2011 BISHOP JOEL N. MARTINEZ The MARCHA story is much longer than the forty years of journey, struggle, and sacrifice that we remember and honor this week. MARCHA was the heir and became the steward of many dreams and hopes of preced- ing generations. The prophet had prophesied and Peter had reminded the church at Pentecost that: “your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions . .” (Joel 2:28). Hispanic/Latino Methodists and Hispanic/Latino Evangelical United Brethren of all ages had been filled by the Spirit and inspired into mission long before the meetings in San Antonio in 1970 and the Founding Consultation in 1971 in this very place. Our identity as a caucus within The United Methodist Church was and is rooted in our conviction that the visions and dreams of our ancestors would bless and orient the future mission of The United Methodist Church. We offered our heritage as a gift to be shared so the witness of the Church might experience new Pentecosts in the language and the accents of our foremothers and forefathers. The Council on Hispanic American Ministries of the National Council of Churches met in San Antonio, February 25-29, 1970, at the Wesley Com- munity Center on Fitch Street. COHAM included regional and national representation from several Protestant denominations, including The Unit- ed Methodist Church.
