The research being undertaken has inspired me due to its versatility and applicability to the practical field. It has provided the basis for me to reflect on my previous experience in sport and to evaluate the programmes I have been involved in.
Following my Master’s degree I have worked for sport organisations in Germany, Greece and Saudi-Arabia, all of who work to enhance opportunities for marginalized groups through sport.
I am now pursuing a PhD at the University of South-Eastern Norway, researching women’s sport participation in Saudi Arabia, a yet unexplored, though emerging and highly relevant country in the sport field.
Following my PhD, I would like to continue working in the sport for development and peace sector by finding a role which combines my practical skill set with my academic competences.
