She has spoken and written about contemporary issues in the world of sport, such as doping, sportswashing, the inclusion of trans-athletes, the ethics of dangerous sports, the effect of technology in sport, and the beauty and value of sport.
She also has an interest in understanding games and play more generally, whether this is in the form of computer games, strategy games, or mindless but fun playful activity.
