Professor Fred Coalter - Sport for development: from fuzzy snapshots to clear video
The Centre for Social Justice in Sport and Society and The Sport for Development Special Interest group invite you to join us for our upcoming event

The Carnegie School of Sport and the School of Events, Tourism and Hospitality Management Research and Knowledge Exchange Seminar with Professor Fred Coalter.

Drawing on his research in the UK, Nairobi and Mumbai, Professor Coalter will illustrate the need to move beyond the ‘black box’, evangelical view of ‘sport’ to understand better what conditions and mechanisms are necessary for participation in ‘sport for development’ programmes to have beneficial outcomes. To illustrate his argument, he will explore the apparently paradoxical statement that ‘there is nothing as practical as a good theory’
