Rob Ruck

    Rob Ruck sa zameriava na športovú históriu a jeho diela skúmajú, ako šport formoval komunity a identity, najmä v afroamerických a medzinárodných kontextoch. Prostredníctvom svojej pedagogickej činnosti a dokumentárnych filmov sa zaoberá hlbokými spoločenskými a kultúrnymi dopadmi športu. Jeho spisy a filmy odhaľujú menej známe príbehy a vyzdvihujú význam športu ako zrkadla širších historických trendov.
