Jonathan E. Howe

Dr. Jonathan Howe’s research centers broadly on the racialized experiences of stakeholders within and through sport organizations—specifically centering Black experiences. Within this broader agenda, Dr. Howe focuses on Black male college athletes as well as Black coaches and athletic administrators. His research with Black male college athletes centers race along with identity development and self-presentation. Related to Black athletic coaches and administrators, Dr. Howe examines their racialized experiences as they operate in predominately and historically white spaces. One of his research goals is to bridge the gap between scholarship and practice within collegiate athletics, higher education institutions and other sport organizations.

Dr. Howe has presented his work at national and international conferences associated with the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport, Black Student-Athlete Summit, North American Society for Sport Management, College Sport Research Institute, American Educational Research Association and the Association for the Study of Higher Education.
