Bicycles for Development

Brian Wilson was a co-investigator, along with PI Lyndsay Hayhurst (York University) and co-investigators Brad Millington (University of Bath) and Rob VanWysberghe (UBC), on a SSHRC-funded study titled Cycling Against Poverty? Researching a Sport for Development Movement and an ‘Object’ in/for Development. 

This project focuses on the use of the bicycle as a possible catalyst for development. Former UBC graduate students Madison Ardizzi, Jesse Couture, Shawn Forde and Devra Waldman — who were part of the Sport, Environment, Peace, Media Research Group — were researchers on the project.
