Dr Callum Morgan

Biography

I joined the School of Sport, Rehabilitation and Exercise Sciences in October 2023 as a Lecturer in Coaching Pedagogy. My research draws upon dramaturgical, emotional and relational theorising to critically examine how coach educators, coaches, athletes and other stakeholders experience and participate in their everyday workplace practices, interactions and relationships. I place an emphasis on understanding the social processes and complexities that feature in the realities of collaborating with, educating and influencing others, including "what" sport employees do, "where", "when", "how", "with whom" and "why". I am particularly passionate about using in-situ research methods to explore the various impression management strategies that individuals and groups use within their respective workplace performances. My research activities seek to support the development of the wider sport workforce and influence positive changes in employee preparation policy.
