S7E3: The Language of sport and nostalgia with Aman Misra

Aman tells us about how he combined his passion for sport with his lived experience in India, and professional experience as a sports journalist. We discuss how he moved from the fast-paced life of journalistic publication, to slow and measured academic knowledge creation. We also talk about the nuances of researching and teaching about sports journalism and disability, and how to cover a para sportsperson on their term.

Aman also shares with us the amazing experience of his field work: covering and publishing on the Paris para-olympics.
