The Socio-Cultural research team comprises academics specializing in sociology and history. Our work examines the societal, cultural, and worldwide dimensions of sports, physical activity, health practices, and bodily studies. Employing primarily qualitative approaches (though not exclusively), our investigations draw upon critical frameworks including gender theory, educational studies, aging research, media analysis, Indigenous perspectives, disability discourse, and other interdisciplinary fields.
