Transdisciplinary sport: The promise and politics of navigating research boundaries

This talk was delivered by Professor Holly Thorpe an award-winning sociologist working in The Huataki Waiora School of Health at the University of Waikato, New Zealand in November 2023.
Scholars of sport and exercise are increasingly implored to work across the disciplines. Yet, transdisciplinary research carries many challenges, including deeply entrenched variation in social practices, norms, and expectations within and across different disciplines. In this talk, Professor Thorpe discussed the potential, politics, and ethics of advancing transdisciplinary ways of knowing sporting bodies.
