Research Project: Race, Ethnicity and Gender in Sports Governance
This research project aims to develop a more detailed understanding of minority-ethnic women's experience in decision-making roles in sport, learning about the perceived barriers or enablers, and what support is required to overcome these barriers.
We will do this through:
Understanding where inequalities exist will enable us to work towards better supporting and developing women from minority-ethnic backgrounds within sporting institutions.
If you are a woman from a minority-ethnic background who currently or previously has held a Board position in sport and are interested in doing an interview, we want to hear from you!
We will do this through:
- Analysis of current research and data
- Interviews with minority-ethnic women in senior leadership positions
