Sport, Masculinities and Sexualities

Professor Eric Anderson is a sociologist at the University of Winchester, UK. His research shows an increasingly positive relationship between gay athletes and sport, as well as a growing movement of heterosexual masculinities becoming softer and more inclusive. Professor Anderson has published ten books, including Sport, Theory and Social Problems and Inclusive Masculinity, both with Routledge.
