Professor Cropper keeps it coming: interview on the radio


Salut à tous,

Professor Corry Cropper was interviewed by BYU radio today! He expounded on his recently released book Playing at Monarchy: Sport as Metaphor in Ninetenth-Century France. If you have any interest in sports and how it symbolizes society, this is the book for you.

Now, I know you all caught it, because you all listen to classical BYU radio everyday, but in case you want to listen again, just click on the title of this blog entry. Or, here is the link: http://byubmp3.byu.edu/fmarchive/thinkingaloud/ta090205.mp3

If analyzing sports in general appeals to you, you may want to check out his blog as well: www.thesportsacademic.com
