Alongside my illustrious co-author Dr. Kate Henne, I was a guest on the Headfirst Concussion Podcast, hosted by Reece Granger. Across our nearly hour-long conversation, we covered a lot a ground: contested definitions of concussion, repetitive head impacts, and CTE; tensions between biopsychosocial models and qualitative research; functionalist paradigms in concussion research; gender issues; the CTE Defense; and our book, Violent Impacts.
