Forgive the self-indulgence, but on Friday, April 23, 2010 I’ll be giving a talk at the Newberry Library’s Dr. William M. Scholl Center for American History and Culture as part of the 2009-2010 Chicago Seminar on Sport and Culture. The title of my talk, part of a larger project on sports, race, and politics in South Africa since 1994, is “Stopped at the Try Line?: Rugby, Race, and Nationalism in Post-Apartheid South Africa.” I have an article with a similar title coming out in the next couple of months. If you are anywhere near Chicago on April 23, please swing by.
