My overarching research interests center on questions of social cohesion, conflict and social change. I have two established fields of research that address these questions: the sociology of sport and the sociology of terrorism. The bulk of my recent research focuses on socio-cultural aspects and impacts of sport, with a particular focus on mobility, community development, cultural diversity, social exclusion and violence. I have a strong interest in using qualitative and ethnographic research methods to explore diverse population groups’ lived experiences as well as the mechanisms and processes that affect those experiences at micro, meso and macro levels.
