Problématique:
L'analyse sociologique et politologique des politiques publiques d'inclusion (PPIS) par le sport et l'éducation physique (EP) est régie par deux tendances doctrinales en opposition. D'un côté, l'humanisme de l'EP et du sport confère aux politiques d'éducation par le sport un ensemble de valeurs centrées sur la personne en faveur de l'inclusion et l'intégration. De l'autre, le réalisme politique confère aux politiques de l'EP un caractère non conventionnel renforçant la thèse de marginalisation.
En conséquence, le référentiel des politiques publiques d'inclusion par le sport et l'EP peine à réaliser les rééquilibrages nécessaires entre l'approche par les valeurs de l'humanisme et les impératives du réalisme politique.

I am a final year postgraduate researcher at Royal Holloway, University of London, working in the area of Education Economics. My research focuses on primary schools in England. My interest in schools began with my selection as a Foundation Governor in my daughter’s school in Kent, England, during which time I served in the committees on curriculum, finance and religion. In my research, I undertake an efficiency analysis on English primary schools, using data on school inputs and 'test-score' output. I also undertake a policy evaluation on the implications of the Academy Act 2010. My other research interests are broadly in the area of Microeconomics and Applied Econometrics.
I have been working in the higher education sector since 2012 as a post-graduate teaching assistant. Previously, I worked as a Researcher in both governmental and non-governmental organisations in India. In these roles, I primarily worked on socio-economic issues affecting the marginalised sections of society. Much of this research was meant for advocacy and policy purposes. As Consultant at the Kerala State Planning Board, Kerala, India, I was engaged in research on the functioning of local body institutions in the State as part of the People’s Campaign for Decentralised Planning. In this latter role, I was able to gain first-hand experience on the restructuring of governmental institutions in the State, with an emphasis on grassroots level governance and the adoption of a bottom-up approach in planning.
I would like to further put to use my research skills and experience in the understanding of the micro-processes that shape economic, social and political institutions.

My PhD focuses on the impact of Voter Identification laws on election turnout and perceptions of democratic integrity. This research aims to create a comparative database of Voter ID laws around the world and bring greater understanding to an issue that gains much focus in the USA but very little throughout the rest of the world. In addition, I aim to better understand how ID laws relate to turnout, the elite motivations and public reaction surrounding new laws, expert and individual perceptions of democratic integrity due to ID laws. How ID laws relate to other electoral rules such as registration laws will also form part of my thesis.
