British Universities and Colleges Sport: race and equality report

This research project was commissioned by British Universities and Colleges Sport to investigate Race and Equality. The research team was tasked to investigate Non-White participant’s experiences of coaching and participating within university sport and physical activity. Non-White was chosen as a term to focus attention upon the voices of those who do not share the racial identity of most people who lead, coach, and participate in university sport. Leaders of sport at university were also included in the research to explore how Non-White experiences are considered from a strategic and operational perspective. Over an eight-month period, a research team of university staff and student peer researchers, explored the experiences of 66 staff and students across 5 universities.
