Keynote
Being an Academic in Turbulent Times: Resisting The Optical Illusion of Separateness
Parissa Safai is an Associate Professor in the School of Kinesiology and Health Science in the Faculty of Health at
York University. Her research interests focus on the critical socio-cultural study of sport at the intersection of risk,
health and healthcare. This includes research on sports’ “culture of risk,” the development and social organization
of sport and exercise medicine, as well as the material and political determinants of athletes’ health. Her research
and teaching interests also centre on sport and social inequality with focused attention paid to the impact of gender,
socio-economic, and ethnocultural inequities on accessible physical activity for all.
