Shaughnessy Dow graduated from the University of Toronto with an MA in Anthropology in November 2019, and intends to return to his studies and pursue a PhD in the coming year. With a profound interest in the nexus between sport, ethnicity, religion and the meaning the mutually constitute in one another, he intends to explore these themes further in a longer doctorate thesis. With deep connections in both Scotland and Ireland, he is also interested in how a singular geographic space can be conceived of in divergent, and sometimes antagonistic ways, by different groups in ethnically plural spaces.
