Research
In research, I use sports as a lab to analyze behavior and social issues; more prominently, these are related to participation and inequality. My latest projects rely on experimental methods to examine ethnic discrimination, test the effectiveness of policies from governing bodies, and identify gender biases. The aim is to provide organizations with evidence to make informed decisions.
