Mrs Georgia Clay

Associate Lecturer in the School of Sport and Exercise Science, and doctoral student within the School and the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports at the University of Copenhagen, Georgia’s PhD focusses on physical activity and exercise for ageing stroke survivors in a community rehabilitation setting. Her PhD aims to explore the above through a figurational lens, thus taking a qualitative, sociological approach. She is supervised by Dr Hannah Henderson, Dr Adam Evans, and Professor Jacquelyn Allen-Collinson as a dual studentship between the two universities. Georgia’s overall research interests include the relationship between health, physical activity, and exercise, ageing, wellbeing, and the evaluation of health-related programmes and policy.
