Dr. David Howe
School of Kinesiology
Western University
P. David Howe is a social anthropology and holds the Dr. Frank J. Hayden Endowed Chair in Sport and Social Impact in the School of Kinesiology at Western University, Canada with research interests in disability sport and physical activity cultures. David’s ethnographic research focuses on unpacking the embodied socio-cultural milieu surrounding inclusive physical activity and disability sport. His publications on the co-constitution of disability and medicine in sport mark him out as the leader in the socio-cultural investigation of disability sport. With reference to the culture of disability, ethics of Paralympism, health and disability and medical discourse surrounding the Paralympic Games, David is concerned that his research highlights ways and means of making sport and physical activity more empowering for marginalised populations. David is also editor of the Routledge Book Series, Disability, Sport and Physical Activity Cultures and holds a guest professorship at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium.
