A graduate of the University of Windsor (BHK ’95, MHK ’98), Tim Elcombe is currently an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at Wilfrid Laurier University. His research focuses on the application of pragmatism to address normative (ethical) issues emerging in sporting contexts, to explore the intersections between sport and culture, and to examine uses of sport as a socio-political tool. He was awarded the British Philosophy of Sport’s inaugural “Developing Researcher Award” in 2010.
