About

I worked for a number of years as a community practitioner and also wrote on women's football for Sportal, as well as being a contributor/monitor for the Guardian's Football AllTalk web site. I came to Hallam in 2006 where I teach, research and publish around the social and cultural aspects of sport and leisure. I gained my first degree from the University of Birmingham’s Department of Cultural Studies, my MA from the Scarman Centre for the Study of Public Order and my FA and ESRC funded doctorate from the Sir Norman Chester Centre for Football Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, both at the University of Leicester. A fan of cricket, rugby union and Barnsley FC, I play veterans 5-a-side and softball cricket with little skill but great enthusiasm.
