Andrew Higham

Doctoral Researcher, Sheffield Hallam University

Doctoral Researcher, Sheffield Hallam University I am a Sport Psychology PhD student and graduate teaching associate at Sheffield Hallam University within the Sport and Physical Activity Research Centre (SPARC). My current research interests include well-being, welfare, and morality within professional sports contexts, with a particular focus on male football. My present research aims to utilise novel qualitative methods to illuminate how professional football coaches experience and make sense of well-being. These methods include interpretative phenomenological analysis, video docuseries, and photo-elicitation. My PhD has a specific focus on how socio-contextual and temporal interactions shape a person's well-being. I also have an MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology, where I explored morality within professional football contexts. Before starting my full-time PhD scholarship, I was a Higher Education Teaching Associate who taught across many sports science and coaching degree programmes.

Alastair Comery

PhD Candidate, Sociology, Centre for Death and Society, University of Bath

PhD Candidate, Sociology, Centre for Death and Society, University of Bath My PhD is entitled, A Gradual Farewell with Music. I will marry sociological and musicological paradigms to explore the embodied experience of music in people’s experiences of loss. To capture the dynamic role of music in bereaved people’s ongoing lives, I will focus on their interactions with music both during the dying process of their loved one and post loss. Drawing on the theory of ‘musicking’, I will explore how individuals both actively and passively draw on music to (re)shape themselves in facing loss and how a ‘music literacy’ may help better support individual’s experiences of bereavement. I will employ a qualitative approach, conducting interviews to capture unique perspectives little represented in the current literature.
