Can We Live?

Home. What is home? Two Black scholars meet for the first time at our national sport sociology conference on the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and TsleilWaututh Nations (Vancouver, BC Canada). A disciplinary home. A disciplinary home that may acknowledge holding a conference on stolen land. But, is still coming to grips with sport as a colonizing tool, and what a decolonial agenda in sport sociology might look like (Whitinui, 2021). They are at two different points in their careers. One just started their PhD. The other six years post PhD. Yet, both in their own way are trying to find and cultivate a home within this space. Why might that be? How might this journey be entwined with colonialism and decolonial scholarship?
