Research Interests
Kevin's research interests are focused on 'race', antiracism, inclusion/exclusion in sport and leisure, and community sports development. Kevin's first substantive study with the Faculty involved coordinating a Leisure Needs Audit on the East Bank of Leeds in 1995. This has been followed by evaluations into social inclusion/exclusion for the Department of Culture Media and Sport, and an evaluation of Sportsweb (community sport) for Bradford Leisure and Recreation Service. Kevin's work around 'race' and ethnicity has been extended into work for Kick Racism Out of Football (Kick it Out) and a recent update of the suite of studies into racism in rugby, cricket and football. More recently, Kevin's research interests have been focused on Critical Race Theory.
