Craig LaMay, a Northwestern University scholar, has returned to the Qatar campus where he previously taught a course in Sports, Media, and Society. LaMay (pictured) is an expert in freedom of expression and media development in democratizing and post-conflict societies, as well as sport as a social institution, said a press release.
LaMay,who is currently on leave from his position as associate professor at Northwestern’s Medill School, is also a former associate dean at Medill. He will be in residence at NU-Q until 2019. While at NU-Q, he will develop a program on sports, media, and leadership. He will also teach undergraduate courses on sports and media, drawing heavily on the local Qatari sports culture. “Professor LaMay has been a strong supporter of NU-Q since it was first established. His presence on campus brings a broad portfolio of creative teaching as well as providing an increased depth of knowledge and research across several areas especially relevant to NU-Q and Qatar. NU-Q students will find his international experience of great value in helping them master sports analysis and coverage,” said Everette E Dennis, dean and CEO.
