Professor Ben Dettmar |
Thanks for visiting my page. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at Adrian College (Go Bulldogs!).
I received my BA Hons from the University of Wales, and my M.Phil from the University of Glasgow. Both in the field of American Studies. My research focus on the history of mega-events and the power that sport has to transform society. Specifically, I focus on the Olympic Games and how throughout the Twentieth and Twenty-First Century The Olympics have been used as a tool for societal change, urban renewal, and political propaganda. |
