My research examines sport and physical activity from a sociological point of view. I am interested in particular in: 1) sport, development, and the environment; and 2) health and fitness technologies.
I am the author of the book, Fitness, Technology and Society: Amusing Ourselves to Life (2018, Routledge, https://www.routledge.com/Fitness-Technology-and-Society-Amusing-Ourselves-to-Life/Millington/p/book/9781138948037), and am co-author of the book, The Greening of Golf: Sport, Globalization and the Environment (with Brian Wilson, 2016, Manchester University Press, http://www.manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781784993276/). I have also published in a range of scholarly journals.
