About Aurelie Pankowiak
Dr Aurélie Pankowiak is a postdoctoral research fellow within the Institute for Health and Sport, and a full-time member of the Sport and Recreation Spatial research team. Aurélie uses mixed-methods to investigate sport participation trends, factors influencing participation, and the intersection between sport participation and health for evidence-based decision-making.
Her research interest and expertise include diversity/inclusion and interpersonal violence in sport, and her research focuses on both how sport stakeholders manage these issues, and how they affect sport participants and athletes.

She is the co-founder and member of the International Research Network on Violence and Integrity in Sport (IRNOVIS).
Aurélie has over 10 years of experience as a researcher, consultant and project manager in the sporting industry across the world, including the Caribbean, the USA and Europe. Her PhD work examined national Paralympic sport policy.
