Associate Professor
Intercollegiate athletics are a highly visible aspect of campus communities. Regardless of the size of the institution or notoriety of the athletic department, policies in athletics have implications that are far reaching. My research agenda in the Center for Leadership in Athletics highlights the factors that influence participation in leadership of intercollegiate athletics, the ways in which decision-making is informed by data, and how equity policies shape intercollegiate athletics in significant ways. In my research I use qualitative, conceptual, and policy analysis methods. I integrate critical, poststructural, and feminist perspectives in my research to illustrate the issues at the intersection of intercollegiate athletics and higher education. I am also the editor of the Center’s Research From The Front Porch research briefs.
