4:00 p.m.
Ford Alumni Center Carolyn Silva Chambers Room 202

Join Courtney M. Cox, assistant professor and author of Double Crossover: Gender, Media, and Politics in Global Basketball, for a book launch and reception with Dr. Philana E. Payton, Assistant Professor of Film & Media Studies at UC Irvine, and Cierra Burdick, member of the 2024 USA basketball 3x3 Olympic team.

In her new book, Double Crossover: Gender, Media, and Politics in Global Basketball, Cox follows athletes, coaches, journalists, and advocates of women’s basketball as they pursue careers within the sport. Throughout the book, Cox explores the intersection of race and gender against the backdrop of the WNBA, NCAA, and other leagues within the United States and around the world. Timely and original, Double Crossover takes readers into the lived world of women’s basketball to shed light on the struggles, triumphs, and contributions of today’s players and those around them.

Cox is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Indigenous, Race, and Ethnic Studies at the University of Oregon. Her research examines issues related to identity, technology, and labor through sport and wine. She is also co-director (with Dr. Perry B. Johnson) of The Sound of Victory, a multi-platform digital humanities project located at the intersection of music, sound, and sport. She previously worked for ESPN, Longhorn Network, NPR-affiliate KPCC, and the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks.
