Dr. Wiggins is a Professor of Sport History, Recreation, Health, and Tourism in George Mason University (George Mason University, 2017). He obtained his Ph.D. at the University for Maryland in Kinesiology and focused on the history of American sports (George Mason University, 2017).
Also, he has published over 100 research articles in a variety of journals, such as Journal of Sports History, The Journal of American History, Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sports, Kinesiology Review and many other publications (George Mason University, 2017). Dr. Wiggins also published various books, including African Americans in Sports, Out of the Shadows and Glory Bound (George Mason University, 2017). Due to these journals, Dr. Wiggins has become a knowledgeable and diligent writer. From these journals and books, we can realize that knowledge and hard work are both essential to be a scholar.
Furthermore, Dr. Wiggins has completed various studies on the involvement of African American participation in sport and physical activity (George Mason University, 2017). His primary research areas are African American athletes and sports history such as the article named The Routledge History of American Sport (Wiggins & Daniels, 2016). This article tells us the history of African American and some issues when he does this research. Although, he received some queries when he does researches about African American athletes. His parents did not understand him why a white American wants to do a research about African Americans(Wiggins & Daniels, 2016). However, Dr. Wiggins insists on his research. In the future, we also will meet some problems in the academic career. If I want to be an eligible scholar, I should be stick to research and not care about others’ useless evaluations.
Dr. Wiggins dedicates himself to researching sports study and focuses on the history of African American participation in sport, Sport biography, and race and ethnic issues in contemporary sport (George Mason University, 2017). He has many different aspects in his study. When I read the article of Dr. Wiggins about African American athletic, I think some same conditions about international athletes. I also want to survey International athletic in the Amercian Sports Alliance such as the NFL, NBA, and MLB. Through his research interests, I can find some other interesting aspects in my field such as culture and life about international athletic.
At last, Dr. Wiggins is a Co-Director in the center for the Study of Sprot and Leisure in Society (George Mason University, 2017). He also has held numerous positions in professional organizations, including serving as Editor of the Journal of Sport History, History and Philosophy Section Editor of the Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, and Editor of Quest (George Mason University, 2017). African American Atheletes are the primary research of Dr. Wiggins. African American athletes are a significant factor for American sports. If I know much history about African-American, I can research American Sports Alliance in my field easily.
