In this episode, we speak with Professor Dennis Frost of Kalamazoo College about the recent Paralympic Games and their fascinating history. Professor Frost is a full professor and chairs the history department at Kalamazoo, and is the author of two books about Japanese sports, More than Medals: A History of the Paralympics and Disability Sports in Postwar Japan, and Seeing Stars: Sports Celebrity, Identity, and Body Culture in Modern Japan. Please join us for a broad discussion about Professor Frost’s journey to becoming an award-winning historian and why he believes that much more must be done to properly amplify the true message of the Paralympic Games specifically, and disability sport in general.
