I passed my dissertation defense on Friday, April 15, 2016! My dissertation research was an analysis of social activism in women’s professional tennis since the “open” era began in 1968. The committee that approved this dissertation was comprised of: David Andrews (chair), Patricia Hill Collins (from sociology), Laurie Frederik (from performance studies), Nancy Spencer (from Bowling Green State University), Shannon Jette, and Jennifer Roberts.
