Biography
Greetings!
I am Nayoung (with two syllables), a lecturer in the Department of Sport and Event Management (SEM) in the Bournemouth University Business School (BUBS). Before joining, I worked as a clinical instructor in the Department of Physical Education at Gyeongsang National University and as an assistant professor in the Department of Football Science at Honam University. I taught a broad range of undergraduate courses at Texas A&M University where I completed my doctorate in Health and Kinesiology, with an emphasis on Sport Management. I received my master’s degree in Sport Science from Seoul National University, where I gained an in-depth knowledge of sport participation and consumer behaviour, and did my undergraduate degree in Sport and Leisure Studies from Uiduk University, where I played intercollegiate football competitively.
I am researching sport-related topics focused on cultural diversity, inclusion, and social justice in sport governance and leadership, as well as applications of systematic reviews in the field of sport management... One of my recent research goals highlights the perspectives and experiences of those who have been historically underrepresented and minoritised in leadership positions in sport. Currently, I am investigating the concept of diversity mindset and its impact on meaningful work of sport employees.
As an educator, I hold a Fellowship with the Higher Education Academy and have incorporated blended learning techniques and strategies into my teaching practices. This includes active and experiential learning in both face-to-face and online settings. I particularly integrate a problem-based learning (PBL) into the lectureship to engage students in critical thinking, reflexivity, autonomy, teamwork, adaptability, to name a few, and enrich their knowledge and practical experiences.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, and exercising.
