Concussion in Sports: It’s Time to Drop the Tobacco Analogy With Professor Dominic Malcolm
Welcome back to Headfirst: A Concussion Podcast. Today, we're honoured to be joined by Professor Dominic Malcolm, a leading expert in the Sociology of Sport from Loughborough University. As Director of Doctoral Programmes and former editor of the International Review for the Sociology of Sport, Professor Malcolm's work explores the critical intersections of sport, medicine, and health. His recent research delves into how the media shapes public understanding of concussion and CTE. With over 100 publications and nearly 5,000 citations, his contributions continue to shape both academic thought and real-world practice.
