Personal profile
Biography
I teach sport management at Ulster University. My research is at the nexus of disablity, 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 disabled people and ageing populations, with an aim to provide co-produced and pragmatic solutions to address these. I have additional research interests in the marketing and regulation of gambling.
I am the academic lead for the School of Sport on the MSc Sport Management and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
