My thesis project was both paper and podcast. I<br />
was interested in the experiences of Princeton<br />
college athletes in the context of the relationship<br />
that college athletics has with sustainability<br />
and environmentalism. During the course of<br />
my senior year, I recorded eight episodes for an<br />
ethnographic podcast series called “Earning<br />
Our Stripes.” I posed questions to fellow<br />
Princeton student athletes about their personal<br />
experiences with the conditions as an NCAA<br />
athlete. In undertaking this project I delved into<br />
the environmental policies (or lack thereof) of<br />
the NCAA and the impact that student athletes<br />
can have on influencing their institutions with<br />
respect to sustainability and environmentalism.<br />
To that end Episode Four of Earning Our Stripes<br />
contains an interview with Alix Barry where we<br />
discuss the NCAA and the environment.<br />
