Sociology Ruins Roller Skating


Listen Later

In this episode, I explore roller skating -- its history and the role of the rink as a cultural institution. To explore this topic, I am joined by Alan Bacon, a trustee at the National Museum of Roller Skating and rink owner, and Jocelyn Marie Goode, founding director of the African-American Roller-Skate Museum. If you enjoyed this episode, below are some links worth checking out.
