 | Dr. Eric Anderson is an American sociologist at the University of Bath, England. He is known for his research on sport, masculinities, sexualities and homophobia. Dr. Anderson is the foremost researcher on the relationship between gay male athletes and sport. He has authored many peer-reviewed articles and several books, including the award-winning In the Game: Gay Athletes and the Cult of Masculinity, as well as Inclusive Masculinity and Sport, Theory & Social Problems. Dr. Anderson also writes about distance running, authoring The Runner's Textbook and three editions of the top-selling book Training Games: Coaching Runners Creatively. But perhaps his autobiography, Trailblazing: America's First Openly Gay High School Coach, is the book which receives the most wide-spread attention. Dr. Anderson lives with his husband of twelve years, Grant Tyler Peterson, and their four-legged running partner, Lewie. |
