Brenda Elsey is an American historian of the history of Latin America, politics,[1] soccer[2][3][4] and gender roles.[5][1][6] Since 2008, she has been the co-director of the Latin American and Caribbean Studies program at Hofstra University. Similarly, she directed there the Women’s Studies program from 2009 to 2013.
Elsey has written on sports and social justice for publications such as The New Republic, The Allrounder and Sports Illustrated. She co-hosts the podcast Burn It All Down alongside Shireen Ahmed, Amira Rose Davis, Lindsay Gibbs, and Jessica Luther. According to OZY's Michelle Bruton, it was the first feminist sports podcast to analyze sports culture from an intersectional feminist lens.[7]
Elsey was a recipient of the 2012 Stessin Prize for her first book, Citizens and Sportsmen: Fútbol and Politics in Twentieth Century Chile.[8] University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Jeffery Richey, writing for the Hispanic American Historical Review, lauded Citizens and Sportsmen as the "first English-language academic monograph dealing with the history of soccer in Latin America."[9] Conversely, while praising the book, George Mason University's Matthew B. Karush in Social History criticized Elsey for not fully exploring Chilean soccer clubs' political radicalization.[10]
