Research Supervision

I welcome enquiries from potential MA and PhD students. Please email me if you are interested in postgraduate study, or have an idea or a proposal you'd like to discuss. The University of Brighton hosts a thriving postgraduate community with experienced and active researchers undertaking lots of good stuff in the social sciences and humanities.

I'm particularly interested in supervising in the following areas:

• Leisure theory and social change
• Space, place and culture
• Sport politics & policy
• Histories of mountaineering and outdoor adventure
• British sport history
• Coastal cultures and practices
  

I also welcome discussions on other potential topics.
