Accomplishing Ethics‐Work as a Generic Social Process
Existing systems of university research ethics are often criticized by those in the qualitative research tradition.

This is because learning about the ethical priorities of a group must happen emergently, alongside the discovery of other concepts and patterns in our analyses. As such, we introduce the concept …
The Invisible Labor of Women in the Construction of the National Football League’s Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and Concussion Crisis

In this paper, we show how women are engines of the concussion and CTE crisis in the Nat…
Former Athletes' Illness Stories of Brain Injuries: Suspected Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and the Entanglement of Never-Aging Masculinities
Examining former athletes' health-related beliefs and behaviors on the long-term effects of concussions and potentially developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) offers a domain to understand how men renegotiate their masculinities.

Drawing on in-dept…

Using data collected for a study of the Canadian Football League (CFL), the paper contrasts traditional interviews and Twitter as sources of data. This is followed by a discu…
