I am a professor and Director of Research in the Kemmons Wilson School at The University of Memphis. I research fandom, group behavior, and rivalry, with a particular interest in how group membership is correlated with the various ways people view others. I have over 80 publications (books, articles, book chapters) dedicated to fandom and how group membership can influence behavior toward others. I have developed the Rivalry Perception Scale (RPS), the Glory Out of Reflected Failure (GORF) scales, and have identified the Hierarchy of Out-group Derogation (HOD) and Out-group Derogation Spectrum (ODS). My work has been featured in ESPN, the Wall Street Journal, and many others. My growing interest in entertainment such as streaming, theme parks, movies and television have given me the opportunity to pursue new avenues of study and discovery and have opened new doors for me. I also produce and host the 'Being a Fan of Disney' Podcast to accompanies a class I teach at the university by the same name. I have interviewed many people about their Disney fandom, and have also been featured as a guest on several podcasts regarding Disney. I have delivered presentations on topics such as sport rivalry, rivalry and out-group behavior outside of the sport context, using the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to help students acclimate to college, using the MCU to help academics navigate the research and writing process, and on the use of comic strips to teach young readers how rivalry can influence behavior toward others. Research, Sport Rivalry Man comics, curriculum, and select presentations can be found at www.SportRivalry.com.

Keynote Speaker, Author, Educator
Meet Troy L. Love - the self-love light-bearer with a knack for personal growth and a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh (which he swears he got after surviving countless all-nighters and a lot of perogies). Currently serving as the Clinical Director of Yuma Counseling Services in Yuma, Arizona (which he affectionately calls the Land of Sand and Scorching Heat and literally where Han Solo was thrown into the Sarlaac), Troy is dedicated to helping people achieve greater peace, joy, and love in their lives, while also surviving the occasional sandstorm. As the founder of Finding Peace Consulting (which is affiliated with actual treasure hunting - finding the treasure within), Troy wears many hats - Psychotherapist, Educator, Consultant, and Keynote Speaker. He's also a two-time Amazon Best-Selling Author (he's practically a literary rockstar, except with more self-help and fewer groupies), and a TEDx speaker (he can talk about self-compassion and living in truth for hours, just ask his kids). In his free time (which is a rare commodity), Troy hosts the Finding Peace Podcast (where he dreams of interviewing Oprah and Brene’ Brown) and teaches as an Adjunct Professor at Arizona State University. According to his students, he's basically a superhero without a Ph.D. - (because who wants to go into student loan debt just to be called Dr. Love) With additional certifications in Sexual Addiction Treatment (his favorite topic to discuss with the stranger in the middle seat on a plane) and Breathwork, Troy specializes in working with trauma-related concerns, couples struggling in their relationships, and individuals trapped in a cycle of compulsive or addictive behaviors (he's an expert in breaking bad habits, except for his addiction to dad jokes). But wait, there's more! Troy's extensive training repertoire includes EMDR, Brainspotting (it's not about looking for male pattern baldness, he swears), Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (he's the ultimate couples' matchmaker), and addiction recovery (he can resist the urge to eat an entire pizza, most of the time). When he's not busy changing lives and spreading self-love vibes, Troy is a doting father to two amazing children (who he suspects might be plotting to take over the world), and in his rare moments of downtime, he volunteers to host webinars and drop-in groups for individuals needing support (because he's just that nice). So, if you're in need of some spiritual growth, self-love, and a good laugh, Troy L. Love is your go-to guy (and he promises not to break out into a dad joke during your therapy session, unless you ask for one).
