Dr. Crosson's research interests include Irish film, film and sport, and the relationship between music and poetry. His current research project examines the representation of sport in film, the subject of a conference and several symposia held in the Huston School over the past three years, and of his forthcoming monograph to be published by Routledge in 2012.
