About this position
PhD opportunity in Sport Management at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences (NIH). The project is centered on understanding what kinds of organized sport offerings are available for adults in the Scandinavian context, how these offerings are organized, and how they can be strengthened or built upon to support social inclusion, belonging, and efforts to combat loneliness.
The call is intentionally broad and welcomes a wide range of proposals, with the main geographic emphasis on Scandinavia and room for international comparisons. This makes it a strong fit for applicants interested in sport policy, community sport, participation, inclusion, and the social role of organized sport.
Supervising team: Professor Chris Horbel (main supervisor) and Associate Professor Bieke Gils (co-supervisor).
Institution: Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, Norway.
