Mitchell McSweeney, PhD, assistant professor, and doctoral student Erjia (Lucy) Guan, both of the School of Kinesiology, published a co-authored article (with Drs. Per Svensson and Lisa Kikulis) in the journal, Sport Management Review. The article is titled, "Humanizing, surprising, controlling, and caring: Emotion work and emotional labor strategies in sport for development and peace." The study that produced the article focuses on how practitioners in sport for development and peace (SDP) organizations working with refugees engage in strategies using emotions to humanize storytelling, control emotions in program implementation, and underpin practices with caring.
