AIESEP Fellowships recognise scholars who have made exceptional and sustained contributions to research in physical education and sport pedagogy.
Dr Sandford’s relationship with AIESEP spans more than two decades, beginning with her first conference attendance in 2004. Since then, she has been an active member of the organisation
Reflecting on the award, she said: “I’m delighted to receive this fellowship. AIESEP was the first physical education organisation that I became involved with as a researcher and I first attended one of their conferences back in 2004. I have always enjoyed being part of the community of scholars within AIESEP and have also found it a welcoming space in which to share research, network and be inspired by international colleagues. It is therefore a real honour to be invited to join the ranks of AIESEP fellows and I look forward to supporting the mission of the organisation moving forward.”
The School extends its congratulations to Dr Sandford on this outstanding achievement.
