Feedback on Tier II Canada Research Chair in Equity in Nutrition, Physical Activity, or Health
The Application Review Committee invites campus community members to provide feedback on the candidate who visited for the Tier II Canada Research Chair in Equity in Nutrition, Physical Activity, or Health. Below is a summary of the candidate and a link to the recorded research seminar.
Dr. Waldman has a PhD in Kinesiology from the University of British Columbia (2020) and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sport Management at Florida State University. Dr. Waldman's research program is comprised of three lines of socio-cultural inquiry in sport, physical culture, and health: 1) the local and global postcolonial politics and implications of sport and health focused 'new city' developments in the Global South; 2) sport, international development, and gendered/racialized inequalities; and 3) global ethnography as a qualitative research methodology, relations of power in research settings, and the politics of knowledge production. These three lines of inquiry come together to address questions about how colonialism shape sport-led urban and regional land development, the politics of inclusion/exclusion in urban planning, and sustainable community development in the Global South.
Feedback is requested by 4 pm on July 11, 2025, and can be provided to mlsteele@upei.ca.
