What do you think the Sport and Fitness Cluster needs or you need from the Sports and Fitness Cluster by Alison Fox https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30 Add any thoughts as a post, comment on another post or like it en-us 2022-05-03 17:10:05 UTC 2025-10-14 18:44:43 UTC hello@padlet.com Sport and fitness group https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2197446469 Having a separate clusters allows us to focus leadership time to the priorities of the S&F cluster. It also formalises the research group that we have always had but this was only done within the team (no time assigned in AWMS for chairing / leading / delivering workshops etc.). This may also allow targeted funding to support the needs of the group.]]> 2022-05-24 10:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2197446469 Purpose jimlustedou https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2197474268 Might help to have a clear purpose to what the group is for and terms of reference etc (these might exist already...)]]> 2022-05-24 10:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2197474268 Funding jimlustedou https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2197477227 Small pockets of funding to help pay for AL support with lit reviews/data collection can be really helpful to find the additional time we don't have for research

We could do with more PhD students too - they would contribute to the dept and a cluster like this enormously. Possibly one or two funded PhDs a year - in my view a great use of research money]]> 2022-05-24 10:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2197477227 How do we refine our identity? https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2212005623 2022-06-06 09:28:13 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2212005623 What does the S&F Cluster need? https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2212005973 2022-06-06 09:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2212005973 What do you need from the S&F cluster? https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2212006635 2022-06-06 09:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2212006635 Do we want to have groups within the cluster to subdivide the focus and have collective priorities? https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2212014348 2022-06-06 09:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2212014348 https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2213324237 2022-06-07 08:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2213324237 I think smaller sub groups would be beneficial https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2213380047 2022-06-07 09:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2213380047 https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2213383774 2022-06-07 09:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2213383774 External voice https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2213386909 Use our social media channels to push our research at key times of the year when we want potential students to see our expertise. We also need space on the PGr channels to showcase S&F research and advertise for PhD students. 

We do have an issue with no lab space to draw on currently* 

*potential for a future lab...]]> 2022-06-07 09:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2213386909 Sub groups https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2213387130 I'm a bit on the fence with sub-groups. I can see the benefit, equally, I wonder if we're a big enough 'whole' group, to warrant sub-groups. Could we make better use of the Teams space for more specialist discussion, e.g. psychology, sociology, coaching etc. ]]> 2022-06-07 09:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2213387130 https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2213388768 Might our 'size' or critical mass be expanded if we included ALs or central staff from other clusters/schools/faculties? We could go beyond our existing 'boundaries'.]]> 2022-06-07 09:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2213388768 https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2213390224 An example of a sub-group I have thought about is 'Sport and social justice' - that is broad enough to encompass a range of interests but with a focus that sits nicely with the OU mission..]]> 2022-06-07 09:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/alison_fox1/1w4a1jhvuac1mi30/wish/2213390224
