Dr. Charlie Smith serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Organisation Studies and Human Resource Management at the University of Essex's Essex Business School, where his research bridges organizational behavior, human resource management, and sports management with critical attention to mental health, gender dynamics, and sociological dimensions of sport.
Smith's research program investigates emotional labor in academic workplaces, psychedelic therapy's implications for employee well-being, and structural inequalities in sports governance. His methodological approach emphasizes qualitative and autoethnographic techniques to explore identity formation, embodiment, and citizenship within contemporary work environments. Recent studies examine doping cultures in professional cycling, gender representation on European sports boards, and pandemic-era community responses by elite athletes.
Analysis of Smith's 2022-2024 publications reveals growing interdisciplinary engagement with mental health interventions, particularly examining how psychedelic-assisted therapy might address workplace stress. His work consistently connects organizational theory with sports sociology and gender studies, demonstrating how power dynamics manifest in both corporate and athletic contexts through comparative institutional analysis.
