Welcome to BPSA
A Message from Mike McNamee
Dear colleagues, I hope you all had a great summer break. While many of you were away on vacation a great article was posted by Stephen Mumford – our ex Chair of BPSA – on the philosophy of sport in the leading professional magazine for academics in the UK – the Times Higher Educational Supplement. It has a global readership.
Thanks to Stephen for putting us on the THES map!
Mike
