Professor David Andrews is a widely respected cultural critic and a prolific author whose scholarship has helped to shape critical physical cultural studies across the globe. Dr. Andrews is the author or co-editor of over 10 books, including Sport--Commerce--Culture: Essays on Sport in Late Capitalist America. This lecture recognizes the considerable contributions and achievements of Dr. Alan G. Ingham, who passed away in 2005. Alan Ingham first came to Miami University in 1984 as a professor in Sport Studies. His research and teaching both emphasized social justice ideals and he was among the first scholars to apply a critical perspective to the sociology of sport. He earned an international reputation for his scholarship and also for his advocacy of interdisciplinary approaches to kinesiology and health. Given his numerous contributions to the field, he was frequently invited as a keynote speaker and academic consultant across the globe. And despite this international !
acclaim, his students, both past and present, remained his top priority. Dr. Ingham was also an enthusiastic soccer advocate throughout his life as an elite athlete, a coach of elite athletes, and as a passionate fan. In his spare time, Alan was an avid reader of scholarly literature, novels and popular literature. He loved good food, special cars, and spirited conversations with friends, family and colleagues. Alan is survived by his wife, J. Christine Bloor Ingham, his son, Anthony Graeme Bloor Ingham, and the many good friends comprising his second family.
