Overview
The Sport and Society Research Group is committed to cross-disciplinary, socially relevant scholarship exploring how sport and exercise are implicated in cultural, psychological, economic, and environmental issues. Drawing on theories and methods from across the social sciences and humanities, Group members study how diverse issues such as violence, pollution, mental health, and gender discrimination, are related to sport, health, and exercise cultures. This group is part of the Sport, Health and Performance Enhancement Research Centre, and individual members collaborate across this Centre and others within and beyond the University.
