Graham Knight
Graham Knight teaches sociology at McMaster
University. His research and teaching interests include modern social theory, political
sociology, and sociology of the mass media. He is currently involved in two major research
projects. The first is a study of television coverage of the 2000 Olympics from the
perspective of how national identity is constructed and negotiated through the sport-media
complex. The second is a study of the growing campaign against Nike and other sports
apparel companies for their labour practices in developing countries. This research
focusses on the role of the media in publicizing the campaign and the issues surrounding
it.
