Biography
Toby Miller is Research Professor, University of California, Riverside; Sir Walter Murdoch Professor of Cultural Policy Studies, Murdoch University; Profesor Invitado, Escuela de Comunicación Social, Universidad del Norte; Professor of Journalism, Media, and Cultural Studies, Cardiff University/Prifysgol Caerdydd; and Director of the Institute for Media and Creative Industries, Loughborough University London.
In this compact, power-packed book, Miller judiciously maps out the machinations of greenwashing, showing how football, Formula 1, and the Olympics stomp sizable carbon footprints while forging sponsorship pacts with environmentally dubious partners, all the while claiming the green mantle.
Jules Boykoff, Politics & Government, Pacific University, Oregon,
This book should be the primer on sport and the environment for policy makers and activists alike.
Jay Coakley, Sociology, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs
In an unmissable analysis and polemic, Greenwashing Sport, the polymathic Toby Miller guides us towards some possibilities of forms of citizen-based resistance to the hypocrisies and planet-threatening excesses of capital.
Alan Tomlinson, Leisure Studies, University of Brighton
