	Dr. Harry H. Hiller ~ Professor of Sociology ~ University of Calgary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hiller's interest in the Olympics began with the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary when he observed how the Olympics became a marketing device for a city that was undergoing a massive urban transformation. He also came to see how the Olympics could be marshaled to accomplish certain broader urban objectives.
		His analysis revealed that the success of the Olympics from the perspective of the host city had everything to do with the way urban residents embraced the event as an opportunity to celebrate. This led to a series of conference presentations and publications that has since expanded.
		Hiller is one of only a few urban sociologists who have taken the urban impact of mega-events as his specialty. He has done research and made presentations in Australia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Greece, Italy, and China.
