Bryan C. Clift

This is my second year as a student in the Physical Cultural Studies program at University of Maryland, under the advisement of Dr. David L. Andrews. This fall I am teaching assistant in KNES 289Y: The (In)Active City: The Physical Cultures of Metropolitan Baltimore and KNES 287: Sport in American Society. My research interests remain quite broad and include but are not limited to: physical culture, food, cultural performance, gender/sex and race/ethnicity performance and disparity, education and pedagogy, poststructuralism and postmodernism, qualitative inquiry, and creative analytic practice. I am increasingly trying to draw linkages across the (in)active body and food within culturally framed discourses in efforts to broaden the budding conceptions and theorizing of physical culture and its orientation as a(n) anti-/trans-/multi-disciplinary project.

Personally, I am a foodie and love to cook; enjoy most things footy, a good film or book now and again; and stretch myself to try new things: DC is a wonderful city in which to explore all of these.
