About

Dr. Stacy-Lynn Sant is an assistant professor of Sport Management at the University of Michigan School of Kinesiology. Her research agenda focuses on understanding how mega sport events can advance human rights, inspire community action, and spur social development. Dr. Sant’s current work examines the planning, management, and implementation of human rights strategies and initiatives in host communities. Her research points to human rights as a significant source of risk associated with mega sport events and considers how these events may serve as platforms for promoting and protecting human rights and achieving hosts’ sustainable development goals.

Dr. Sant’s work has been published in leading sport management and urban studies journals including the Journal of Sport Management, European Sport Management Quarterly, Sport Management Review, and Cities. She speaks on event legacy, sustainable development, and human rights at universities and conferences around the world, and her work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Nikkei Asia, CBC, WalletHub, and TheMessenger.
