Special Guest Bloggers: Marie Hardin & Dave Zirin
In the spirit of highlighting the significance of social media, the Tucker Center has invited Marie Hardin and Dave Zirin to weigh in on the intersections of sport, social media, and gender.
Professor Marie Hardin is Associate Director of the John Curley Center for Sports Journalism at Penn State University. Her research examines issues related to diversity, ethics, and professional practices surrounding sport media. Hardin is a panelist in this Fall’s Tucker Center’s Distinguished Lecture.
Our other guest blogger is Dave Zirin, sportswriter for The Nation magazine. Zirin—a fierce advocate of women’s sports—is also the host of XM Satellite Radio’s popular weekly show, Edge of Sports Radio, author of two books, Press Action’s 2005 and 2006 Sportswriter of the Year, and called by Robert Lipsyte "the best sportswriter in the United States."
