From scarves raised like ritual offerings to chants that echo like collective prayer, Professor Gina Antoniello will unpack how stadiums create “collective effervescence”: powerful emotional surges that bind strangers into a single body.This lecture examines how matchday rituals, shared suffering, and collective triumph forge belonging, identity, and transcendence in an increasingly secular world. Why does defeat feel personal? What psychological mechanisms make a team’s success feel like our own—and what happens when commercialization disrupts something fans experience as sacred?Blending psychology, sociology, and global sport culture, Professor Antoniello reframes sport not as mere entertainment, but as one of the last great ritual spaces of modern life.Professor Gina Antoniello is Academic Director & Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU’s Tisch Institute for Global Sport and a leading voice on sport culture, social impact, and athlete advocacy.Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap! 🙌Agenda6:30 PM – Doors open: find a seat (open seating!), order food & drinks, and expect a bar line—arriving early is key.6:55 PM – Host introduction7:00 PM – Lecture begins7:45 PM – Audience Q&A8:00 PM – Have 1:1 time with the speaker, mingle with fellow guests, and order another round8:30 PM – Wrap up. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/lectures-on-tap-sport-ritual-and-the-psychology-of-collective-belief/100001984940917718 - **Event Categories**: Sports - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 41.32, max: 41.32, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Williamsburg - **lat**: 40.7081156 - **long**: -73.9570696 - **full address**: Williamsburg, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Lectures on Tap - "Sport, Ritual, and the Psychology of Collective Belief" - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/3f5e5504813c9379abb219ba5d95c8d17ba20de203e76e3bf2930e32b8b7ea45-rimg-w1200-h600-dce0e1da-gmir.jpg?v=1774194186 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Lectures on Tap - "Sport, Ritual, and the Psychology of Collective Belief" being held? - **A:** Lectures on Tap - "Sport, Ritual, and the Psychology of Collective Belief" takes place on Tue, 28 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Tue, 28 Apr, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Williamsburg, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Lectures on Tap - "Sport, Ritual, and the Psychology of Collective Belief"? - **A:** Tickets for Lectures on Tap - "Sport, Ritual, and the Psychology of Collective Belief" are priced at USD 41 per person.
