Got Anthropology Speakers series:

Jesus Saves…and Scores: The Lives, Drives & Desires of Christian Soccer Players in Greater Vancouver

Presenter: Nicholas Howe Bukowski  (PhD Student)

How do Christian soccer players combine their religious and sporting lives? This talk will discuss Christian soccer players in the British Columbia Christian Soccer League and how soccer fits into the life they try and want to live. It will discuss how soccer is part of their process of forming relationships with others, their ideas about masculinity, how they learn about themselves through playing, and as a way to worship God. Soccer and Christianity are both deeply popular and important for people around the world and looking at how they come together is a way to understand how Christians place themselves in the world and project their hopes for the future. Come learn more at the Grad Room (66 Harbord Street) on November 26th from 6:30 to 7:30PM!
