His work with CJV2 has included a review of research concerning labour and human rights issues in global fisheries, and exploring the marginalization of voices in coastal policy discourse around the world. His graduate research at UBC will focus on the socio-cultural impacts of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Vancouver, with special attention to the decision-making processes involved in the build-up to Vancouver’s host city bid. Beyond this, he is motivated to investigate the use of sport and physical culture to achieve social, economic, and environmental development objectives, as well as the global dynamics within and among relevant stakeholders, particularly ‘Sport for Development and Peace’ organizations.
