Global Sport Scholars

Global Sport Scholars are past ASU grant recipients who successfully complete a project or launch a new course as a result of funding provided by the Global Sport Institute. Global Sport Institute senior scholars are faculty whom we recognize for their significant research contributions to the institute above and beyond the norm. The diversity of our seed grantees’ schools and colleges demonstrate the vast nature of our interdisciplinary efforts.
