Reader
Dr Thomas Fletcher is Reader within the School of Events, Tourism and Hospitality Management. He is an interdisciplinary applied sociologist with particular interest in sport, equity, diversity and inclusion, social justice, families and fatherhood.
Tom is an internationally recognised researcher. His work can be broadly categorised under three intersecting areas. Firstly, migration and ethnically communities where he is recognised globally for his work into the South Asian diaspora, race equality and social justice in sport, leisure and events. Secondly, social and cultural aspects of sports events where he has published on topics related ethical event hosting, community development, and inclusive events. The third and most recent area concerns families and family events. He is the author of the 2020 monograph Negotiating fatherhood: sport and family practices (Palgrave Macmillan) which won the 2021 Leisure Studies Association Outstanding Book Prize.
Beyond Leeds Beckett, Tom has a range of roles with international peer review journals and organisations. He is currently a Managing Editor of Leisure Studies, Associate Editor of Events Management and Sport in Society. He was previously Reviews Editor for Soccer & Society.

Research Interests
Tom has an excellent track record of attracting external funding from research, consultancy and commissioned research. He has conducted projects for research organisations, public sector bodies and private companies, including the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), Higher Education Academy, UK Sport, Sport Wales, England and Wales Cricket Board, Yorkshire Cricket Foundation, Public Health England and Meetings Professional International. Tom's work has influenced and shaped policy formation. For example, findings from work into South Asian communities have influenced policies and practices locally and nationally, for example the ECB’s South Asian Engagement Action Plan, which drew heavily on this work.

- Social justice in events, tourism and hospitality
