    About

    Ryan Snelgrove is an Associate Professor in the Department of Management at the Gordon S.

Across contexts including sport events, community sport, and recreational sport, his work considers the practices and broader organizational and institutional conditions that enable or constrain these outcomes. Dr. Snelgrove has an extensive record of collaborative research with sport organizations and has received funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) as both Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator.
