Dr. Baker's current research agenda focuses on stakeholder dynamics in sport, including leadership in sport (e.g. altruism, strategies, coaching); contextual issues in sport (e.g. trash talking athletic inclusion); governance and policy in sport (e.g. systemic dysfunction in college athletics, sponsorships, Final Four impacts, human resources, facility management); and sport management professional preparation (e.g. field experiences, cooperative-competitive learning, outcomes assessment). He also examines sport for development and peace and sport analytics.
