Education Publications

Intercollegiate athletics are a highly visible aspect of campus communities. Regardless of the size of the institution or notoriety of the athletic department, policies in athletics have implications that are far reaching.  My research agenda in the Center for Leadership in Athletics highlights the factors that influence participation in leadership of intercollegiate athletics, the ways in which decision-making is informed by data, and how equity policies shape intercollegiate athletics in significant ways. In my research I use qualitative, conceptual, and policy analysis methods. I integrate critical poststructural feminist perspectives in my research to illustrate the issues at the intersection of intercollegiate athletics and higher education.

I recently collaborated with James Soto Antony and Daisy Alfaro on book titled, “Data-Driven Decision-Making in Intercollegiate Athletics.” This edited volume introduces sources of data and applications for decision-making in intercollegiate athletics. This book also describes the existing landscape of data about student athletes, intercollegiate athletics, and the measures that are still needed. This volume features an online resource and glossary.

In the Intercollegiate Athletic Leadership (IAL) Graduate Program, I teach the Education as a Moral Endeavor and Data-Driven Decision Making courses. I also supervise IAL student portfolios and I am the editor of the Center’s Issues In Intercollegiate Athletic Leadership working paper series.
