ECU professors published in Journal of Sport Management

Two East Carolina University professors in the Department of Kinesiology published articles in the July issue of the Journal of Sport Management.

Dr. Melanie Sartore-Baldwin co-authored, “Hegemonic Masculinity and the Institutionalized Bias Toward Women in Men’s Collegiate Basketball: What do Men Think?”  The study investigates men’s basketball coaches’ perceptions and attitudes toward women in men’s college basketball.

Dr. Stacy Warner led an international team of researchers in a study highlighting the factors necessary to retain sports officials. The article was titled, “Officiating Attrition: The Experiences of Former Referees via a Sport Development Lens.”

The Department of Kinesiology is housed in the ECU College of Health and Human Performance.
