Brett Smith is Head of Research and holds a Chair in Physical Activity and Health. Previously he was Professor in Qualitative Health Research in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at Loughborough University.
Since gaining his PhD on disability, sport, physical activity and wellbeing in 2003, Brett has continued to conduct research in these areas. Reflecting a passion to cross disciplinary boundaries, his research draws on psychology, sociology, and critical disability studies. He was the first scholar to simultaneously serve on the editorial board of leading journals dedicated to sport and exercise psychology, sport sociology, and disability studies. His research has been published widely in journals, such as Health Psychology, Social Science and Medicine, and Disability and Society, and been supported by over 25 grants totaling over £4.5million.
Brett is the founder and former editor of the international journal Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health (QRSEH). Currently he is Associate Editor of two leading journals: Psychology of Sport and Exercise (PSE) and Sport, Exercise and Performance Psychology (SEPP). He also serves on the Advisory Board of Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health (QRSEH) and on 8 Editorial Boards: Qualitative Research in Psychology; International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology; Frontiers in Psychology-Personality & Social Psychology; Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly; Disability & Society; European Journal of Adapted Physical Activity; Narrative Works; and Journal of Ageing Studies. Brett is co-editor (with Michael Giardina) of the Routledge book series on Qualitative Research in Sport and Physical Activity. His most recent books include Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health: From Process to Product (2014) (with Andrew C. Sparkes), the International Handbook of Sport Psychology (2015), and the Handbook of Qualitative Research in Sport and Exercise (2016).
Before his PhD and working in Higher Education (HE), Brett taught for three years in Further Education (FE). During his time lecturing in FE and HE he has been shortlisted for and awarded various teaching honors. He has acted as an undergraduate external degree examiner (University of Bath, 2011-2014) and been external examiner for over 30 PhD’s, including in Europe, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Brett has also been privileged to work with numerous post-doctoral researchers from the UK, Europe, and Canada.
Brett has supervised 9 doctoral researchers and more than 50 MSc students to completion. He currently supervises 6 PhD students - 4 International and 2 Home. Brett welcomes applications from prospective doctoral researchers in the areas of sport and physical activity.
Brett is a leading expert on disability, health, and physical activity. He is also internationally known for his expertise in qualitative research, narrative inquiry, and community participatory based research.
Reflecting a passion to cross disciplinary boundaries, his research has been published widely in leading journals, such as Social Science and Medicine, Health Psychology, Sociology of Health and Illness, Health Psychology Review, and Qualitative Research. In addition to producing over 100 journal publications, he has written over 60 book chapters and co-written/co-edited 6 books. Brett has given over 100 invited talks, over 50 workshops, and over 25 invited keynote presentations to academic audiences around the world. His research has also been communicated in the media and to policy makers, the Houses of Parliament, all-party parliamentary groups, clinical reference groups, The Royal Society of Medicine, sport organisations, disability user groups, and health professionals in numerous countries. To engage the public and enhance impact, Brett’s research is also translated through numerous ways, including stories, infographics, photography, and animation. He works closely with major organisations, like Disability Rights UK, and seeks to co-create research with disabled people.
