Bio/Research
My current area of scholarship focuses on the intersection of sport, ethics and international affairs. In addition to exploring ethical dilemmas confronting sport, I also consider how mega sport in a complex, post-Covid world gets “used” as a sociopolitical tool nationally and globally.

Bio/Research
My current area of scholarship focuses on the intersection of sport, ethics and international affairs. In addition to exploring ethical dilemmas confronting sport, I also consider how mega sport in a complex, post-Covid world gets “used” as a sociopolitical tool nationally and globally.
Currently, I am working on a book project with Alun Hardman (Cardiff Metropolitan University) and Alanna Harman (Wilfrid Laurier University) tentatively titled FIFA, the World Cup and Global Politics. Past projects have included exploring the use of sport as a tool in crises, socio-historical ideas/connections to sport and culture (i.e. relationship between hockey and Canadian culture); and the design, delivery, and organization of sport/meaningful movement (i.e. development and elite athletics).
Media contributions related to my scholarly work include interviews (tv, radio, podcasts) for national outlets include the Canadian Press, CBC, CTV, Global, Corus in Canada, as well as internationally for the BBC World Service, Al Jazeera, SRG (Switzerland), Bloomberg, Deutschlandfunk (Germany), AFP, and Dagbaldet (Norway). I have also written pieces for publication in Maclean’s, Fortune, and the Conversation.
I received my PhD in Kinesiology (Sport History/Philosophy) from Penn State University in 2005 and my MHK (Sport Psychology) from the University of Windsor in 1998.
