On the Vanderbilt Sport & Society Podcast, I discussed The Making of “Jew Clubs” and the question: What is a “Jew Club”? We also explored parallels in U.S. sports culture.

I had the great pleasure of discussing The Making of “Jew Clubs” with fantastic people in Mainz and Frankfurt. I’m very thankful to the many people who engaged so thoughtfully with the topic. The final highlight of the trip was the match between Eintracht Frankfurt and Tottenham Hotspur.

Academic publishing is a strange economy, but pre-orders—especially by libraries—really do help: they increase visibility and ensure access. If the book seems relevant to your institution, I’d be grateful if you considered recommending a copy to your university library. /6

Over the past years, I’ve had the opportunity to discuss this research with club representatives, supporters, scholars, and many others. As the publication date approaches, I’m looking forward to continuing those conversations.
