Invited lecturer for Social Sciences and Humanities section

Editorial board is proud to announce Dominic Malcolm, BA, MA, PhD, as a distinguished invited lecturer for the section on Social Sciences and Humanities.

Dominic Malcolm is a Professor of Sociology of Sport in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences. Following completion of a BA in Politics at Nottingham University, MA in the Sociology of Sport at Leicester University, and PhD (through published work) also at Leicester, he started at Loughborough in 2005. He is currently Deputy Theme Lead for Sport, Business and Society and a Deputy Director of Doctoral Programmes in the School. Dominic has authored 5 monographs, edited 9 anthologies and written over 100 journal articles and book chapters. These publications cover a wide range of subjects within the sociology of sport, including an analytic overview of the subdiscipline in Sport and Sociology (Routledge 2012) which has now been translated into Chinese. Initially this work focused on cricket, and in particular aspects of violence, imperial and postcolonial relations and national identity, and in 2013 this strand of work culminated in the publication of Globalizing Cricket: Englishness, Empire and Identity (Bloomsbury). Most recently, research has focused on the intersection of sport, medicine and health. This body of work includes journal articles on the working practices of doctors and physiotherapists in sport, including their and inter-professional relations and management of confidentiality, and their role in the management of pain and injury.  In 2016 he published Sport, Medicine and Health: the medicalization of sport? (Routledge) and, in 2020, The Concussion Crisis in Sport (Routledge).
