The Curve with Christopher

Masai Ujiri needs to go: Pascal, OG, Cooper Flagg, and NBA Playoffs 2025

It's been a while, so giving you all a short one to get back on the bicycle.

Emancipation Day Lecture

It's that time a year again when (some) people get thinking about Emancipation Day on August 1. This a lecture that I wrote and presented for the Confronting Anti-Black Racism Unit at the City of Toronto in 2019.

Audrey Leduc: The Great (White Canadian) Sprinter you've (probably) never heard of

In this episode I speak on Audrey Leduc. FYI: her whiteness has absolutely nothing to do with the content, but hey, in the day of SME and Caitlin Clark, you throw 'white woman athlete' out there, it's going to catch the eye of an AI bot or two.

Roots & Routes: Knowledge Mobilization Project

This episode outlines my "Roots & Routes: Knowledge Mobilization Project." It's a project I've been working on for a while and explains many of my travels, my 'research outputs,' and my general focus on my 'purpose' of what I do with-in and with-out academia.
