This paper (Trans women and/in sport: Exploring sport feminisms to understand exclusions) was published on-line first on Feb 1st, which is a nice coincidence given it is the start of LGBTQ+ History Month. The aim of the paper is to explore past and present developments in sport feminism to highlight the value of its dynamism to explain, critique, and challenge the current treatment of trans women athletes. The paper highlights the need to further develop, within sport sociology, a de-colonial transfeminism. De-colonial in this context involves post-colonial feminism, black feminism and queer of color critical approaches. It is the 24th peer-reviewed journal article in 24 years by Jayne Caudwell in the Department of Social Sciences and Social Work.

New Nepalese migrant health paper published
New paper on migrant workers from Nepal was published this week in KMC Journal. The paper ‘Risk Perception and Protective Health Measure Regarding COVID-19 among Nepali Labour Migrants’ Returnee from India’ has Shanti Khanal as lead author [1]. The journal is Open Access, hence freely available online across the globe. The paper examines the association between risk perception and protective behaviour regarding COVID-19 in returnee migrant workers. A total of 384 returnee migrants, based in a quarantine centre on return from India, participated in the study. Using the health belief model (HBM) as a theoretical framework, a structured interview questionnaire was designed and administered. A further three health workers were interviewed face-to-face.
The study showed that the perceived risk of COVID-19 among participants was medium to low. Participants perceived few barriers and had low self-efficacy levels compared to other constructs. This study further showed that participants were more likely to follow a range of protective health behaviours, but not found all. The study revealed a significant association between all risk perception constructs and protective behaviours (p=< 0.05). This study accordingly highlighted a significant relationship between the respondents’ risk perception level and protective health behaviours. The study envisaged that public awareness of risk to the people who returned from India is essential to increase risk perception during the outbreak.
The study works towards fulfilling SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), especially ‘Good health and well-being’ (SDG 3) and Decent work and economic growth (SDG 8).

Global BU: Dr Gloria Khamkar receives Global Ambassador Programme award from University of Saskatchewan
Congratulations to Dr Gloria Khamkar, Principal Academic in Journalism from the Faculty of Media and Communication, for her success in securing a Global Ambassador Programme award from the University of Saskatchewan in Canada.
Dr Khamkar is at the start of a collaboration with Dr Monica Hwang, Associate Professor, Sociology Department, from the University of Saskatchewan and the two put forward their bid at the end of 2023. Securing these travel awards was a highly competitive process, and both of their applications were successful.
The award provides funding for both academics to travel to each university to work together to develop ideas for future research. Both have a shared interest in immigrant radio and initially plan to explore this in Toronto.
During her visit to University of Saskatchewan, Dr Khamkar will conduct knowledge exchange activities with Dr Hwang. Dr Khamkar will be teaching on the Multiculturalism course that Dr Hwang runs and conduct research seminar in-person in March/April 2024. Dr. Hwang intends to visit Bournemouth University in the summer of 2024. During these visits, Dr Khamkar and Dr Hwang plan to develop a joint research project proposal on ‘Impact of community radio on refugee community development in the UK and Canada’. This project has a potential to shape the migration policies of the UK and Canada by offering evidence-backed insights on community radio’s impact.
Dr. Khamkar’s research interests align seamlessly with the research areas of University of Saskatchewan’s Sociology Department, which holds international acclaim for its research in globalisation, immigration, transnationalism, integration, and race/ethnic relations. Dr. Khamkar’s contribution to cultural and migration studies, particularly through her research and published work on ethnic community radio for migrants, including her book “The Evolution of British Asian Radio in England” published with Springer Nature in April 2023, promises to enrich the research and teaching environment of the USAsk’s Sociology Department. Dr Khamkar is also a community radio broadcaster. She is currently leading a study on ‘Mobile Storytelling with Ukrainian Migrants in Dorset, England’ to help with their integration process, in partnership with the Ukrainian Community Dorset. The invaluable insights she would bring will be a significant asset to both the staff and student community at University of Saskatchewan.
Smilarly, Dr. Hwang’s academic expertise bridges the fields of inequality, race, and politics. Her research has focused on ethno-racial inequality, social and political trust, and civic activity. Her projects include editing and authoring “Social Inequality in Canada: Dimensions of Disadvantage,” published with Oxford University Press in February 2022 and examining the racialization processes of East Asians during COVID-19. She conducted this research during Visiting Senior Research Fellowship at the London School of Economics and Political Science (January 2022-2023). She is currently leading a study about voting options for permanent residents in Saskatoon, in partnership with the City of Saskatoon and Saskatoon Open Door Society and is analysing the economic and political integration of Ukrainian migrants who arrived in Canada after Ukraine gained political independence. These studies are funded by the Research Junction Project and by the Canadian Centre for Ukrainian Studies.
BU signed a partnership agreement with University of Saskatchewan in 2023 and the two international offices have worked over the last twelve months to match academics in areas including science, nursing and media. The Global Engagement Hub team is now working towards a study exchange agreement with University of Saskatchewan and are identifying curriculum areas where this location will be of interest to students.
If you are interested in academic collaboration for research or in developing study exchange with University of Saskatchewan, please do get in touch at globalbu@bournemouth.ac.uk. Find out more about University of Saskatchewan here.

National Health Executive Magazine article tackles misinformation
Our article in the January/February edition of the National Health Executive (NHE) magazine highlights misinformation around trials of the use of drones to transport medical items. The article, written in collaboration with Dr Andy Oakey at University of Southampton draws on findings from the three-year E-Drone research project and is part of a targeted dissemination plan as this project draws to a close. The article challenges assumptions around cost and carbon savings whilst questioning the need to transport items more quickly. It offers some quick ‘filters’ to apply when considering the role of drones in NHS logistics systems. Read it here for a taste of E-Drone Research (see project website for much, much more…)

REF2029 update on People, Culture and Environment
The REF team have announced an update on the People, Culture and Environment (PCE) element of the REF2029 exercise.
A project has been commissioned to co-develop, with the research community, indicators to be used for the assessment of PCE. These indicators will be used to evidence and support institutions’ PCE submissions as part of a structured questionnaire for REF2029 submissions.
A pilot exercise to enable in-depth testing of the PCE indicators will run alongside the project. This will involve the drafting of example PCE submissions by a sample of HEIs for assessment by pilot panels, in a selected subset of Units of Assessment (UoA).
More details can be found on the REF2029 website, along with information on how HEIs can get involved in the pilot.
The team have also released an updated timetable for the REF2029 exercise.

UK Research Integrity Office – Free Subscriber Only Webinar – Social Media and Ethics
UKRIO has announced details of a forthcoming Free Webinar “Social Media and Ethics” on Wednesday 21st February from 10:00 – 11:00 BST.
Research using social media data presents several ethical issues that researchers must navigate to ensure the responsible and respectful use of this data. Some of the primary ethical issues in research using social media includes privacy and informed consent, anonymity and confidentiality, data ownership and terms of use, ethical use of algorithms and AI, sensitive topics and vulnerable populations, consent and minors, deception and online identity, unintended consequences, and transparency and reproducibility.This webinar discusses these ethical concerns that require a combination of thoughtful consideration, adherence to research guidelines, and engagement with relevant stakeholders, including social media platforms and users.
Dr Nicolas Gold, Associate Professor in Computer Science will lead the webinar, which will cover:
- The identification of some key ethics issues when using social media data.
- An approach to constructing arguments for ethically defensible research in this space.
- A brief “tour” of some platform terms and their potential impact on research.
This webinar is aimed at all researchers using social media and those involved in the ethical review process of projects.
As BU subscribes to UKRIO services, UKRIO webinars are free and open to anyone who may be interested in research integrity and ethics, good research practice and improving research culture and avoiding misconduct.

Cross-university Multidisciplinary Research
In December, I had the pleasure of participating in an expert panel addressing AI testing at the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence at Peterhouse College, at the University of Cambridge. You might be wondering what brought a cybersecurity researcher to an AI-centric event. I had the same scepticism when my multi-university research group decided we conduct AI-related research; what would my contribution be?
Our work has focused on defining meta-data for AI provenance, contributing to advancements in various facets of AI, including testing and auditability. Specifically, my focus lies on evaluating the dimensions of risk and trust within this context. Given the widespread impact of AI across diverse domains, there is a compelling opportunity for multidisciplinary research, consecutively, our group, has diverse expertise ranging from machine learning to psychology.
An initial publication on our work can be found here.
