RESEARCH INTERESTS AND EXPERTISE 

My research interests lie in investigating racialised disadvantage and inequities in sport, and examining the effectiveness of policy measures designed to address these disparities. I am also interested in examining sport in the third sector; I am currently involved in a research project which seeks to create understanding on developing a systemic approach to volunteering in physical activity, sport, and movement across Greater Manchester.
