Personal profile
Research interests
I joined the University of Bath in 2014.
My research examines the social and cultural dimensions of sport and physical movement practices with an interdisciplinary approach. I have two strands around which my teaching and research are focused: sport and physical activity as part and parcel of the cultural economy (e.g., sport events, communities, media and communications, and inequalities), and qualitative research. Collectively, these are oriented around sport and physical activity industries as immersed within established interdisciplinary fields of sport management, sport sociology, history of sport, sport media and communications, sport development, sport economics, leisure studies, and health and wellness.
I am the Director of the Centre for Qualitative Research (CQR) at the University.
My research has been published in top international journals within interdisiciplinary fields: Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Heaalth; Body & Society; Sociology of Sport Journal; Sport, Education & Society; Qualitative Inquiry; Cultural Studies Critical Methodologies.
Rececntly, I have co-edited: Populism in sport, leisure, and popular culture with Alan Tomlinson (Routledge); and Researcher Vulnerability in Qualitative Research (Routedlge) with peers in the Centre for Qualtiative Research.
I am open to working with postgraduate students.
