Biography
My twin areas of research coalesce around the use of sport to either engage or to exclude marginalized groups of people.
Track one is positioned at the nexus of disability, accessibility and the built environment of sport. I have a long-standing research interest in the engagement of disabled people and ageing populations in and through sport and leisure. In particular, my research examines the supply-side barriers that reinforce inequality and inaccessibility for these marginalized groups. Track two is focused on social determinants of health and in particular the relationship between gambling harm and gambling industry marketing tactics. My research aims to provide co-produced and pragmatic solutions to address concerns around these relevant areas.
I am the Head of the School of Sport and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
