Haojin Zhou

I am a doctoral researcher in Sport Governance and Policy at Loughborough University, with a background in international multimedia journalism and sport management. My research examines the implementation of governance reform in the UK sport sector, with a particular focus on A Code for Sports Governance, national governing bodies, accountability, legitimacy and policy implementation.

I am interested in sport governance, sport policy, international sport politics, mega-events, organisational reform, and the relationship between public accountability and the autonomy of sport organisations. Alongside my academic work, I have experience in journalism, sports media, consultancy-style research and public-facing writing.
