Dr Paul Kitchin
Overview
I am a Senior Lecturer in sport management within the School of Sport. My PhD investigated organisational change on managers, staff, and youth participants in para-sport.
I am interested in how social justice is developed through sport, that said I am also interested in how injustice is exacerbated through sport. I examine how management facilitates the discrimination of disabled people and along with colleagues I am also interested the nexus between sport business, marketing, and gambling.
I am a Senior Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy and my teaching and supervision focuses on leadership, management, and justice in and through sport organisations.
I am a former faculty member and sessional lecturer in universities in Britain and Australia. Across Britain and Ireland, I have acted as an external assessor and examiner to a number of sport business programmes.
