Ben Kirk BSc (Hons), PGCE, MA, FHEA
Senior Lecturer in Physical Education
Summary
I have been employed within the Academy of Sport and Physical Activity since 2013 and teach primarily on the BSc (Hons) Physical Education and School Sport undergraduate degree course. Prior to joining Hallam, I taught PE/sport in both the secondary and further education sectors in England. However, my research interests are focussed predominantly within the primary sector, particularly around the role of primary PE specialist teachers, who are the focus of my Doctoral research.
