Sport and Physical Activity in Catastrophic Environments

Jim Cherrington is Senior Lecturer in physical activity, sport and health at Sheffield Hallam University, UK. His research explores how identity, bodies, knowledge and objects are materialised in/through everyday life. Much of his recent work is dedicated to investigating the socio-historical, socio-technical and onto-political conditions of 'nature' (sport). He is also interested in methodological innovation, both in his work on visual methodologies and creative forms of representation and is committed to finding novel ways of documenting a range of human-nonhuman relationships. Jack Black is Senior Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, UK and affiliated with the Centre for Culture, Media and Society, where he is the research lead for the Anti-Racism Research Group. An interdisciplinary researcher working within psychoanalysis and the humanities, Jack's research examines the ontological importance of time, temporality and catastrophe in natural and environmental approaches.
