BIOGRAFICAL NOTES
Stephen Wagg is Professor of Sport and Society at Leeds Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom. He taught at Leicester University between 1989 and 1996, before taking up a post at Roehampton University in London. In 2005 he received a doctorate from the University of Surrey for his work on Politics, Popular Culture and Social Change. He moved to Leeds the following year and became a professor in 2008..
He is trained as a sociologist and has taught sociology for over thirty years, but in recent years has become more interested in politics and history, particularly as they relate to sport. He has been publishing work on sport and society since 1983 and is the author of The Football World: A Contemporary Social History (Harvester Press, 1984). He co-edited British Football and Social Change (Leicester University Press, 1991), East Plays West: Sport and the Cold War (Routledge, 2007) and Amateurism and British Sport (Routledge, 2008) and edited Giving the Game Away: Football, Politics and Culture Across Five Continents (Leicester University Press, 1995), British Football and Social Exclusion (Routledge, 2004), Cricket and National Identity in the Postcolonial Age (Routledge, 2005) and Key Concepts in Sports Studies (Sage, forthcoming in 2009).
He has also edited series for Leicester and Manchester University Presses and is currently co-editor for Palgrave Macmillan of the series Global Culture and Sport.
He has recently completed two further book projects – Lucky Leeds? Politics and Culture in a Post-modern Northern City (in which he discusses civic identity, folk memory and Don Revie’s Leeds United) and These Sporting Lives: Sport, Heroism and the North of England. The first book was co-edited with Peter Bramham and will be published in 2009 by Ashgate Press; the latter was co-edited with Professor Dave Russell and will be published in 2010 by Northumbria University Press.
He also writes on comedy (editor of Because I Tell a Joke or Two: Comedy, Politics and Social Difference Routledge, 1998) and childhood (co-editor of Thatcher’s Children? Politics, Childhood and Society in the 1980s Falmer Press, 1996).
Prof. Wagg teaches courses on Britain and the Wider World, 1930-1990, Contemporary Sport History and The Politics of International Sport.
