Is Sport Elitist? | Rowperfect

Is Sport Elitist? | Rowperfect.

Very well written. Elitism and discrimination are two completely different things, however there are a few people who don’t seem to understand that (and then they do stupid things like ruining a great event).

Hello there, and welcome to my personal web page/blog!

My name is Manuel Marques, and I’m a lecturer in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kent (United Kingdom). I am also a researcher in the Applied Optics Group at the same institution. My work lies mostly in the area of Applied Optics, namely white light interferometry and its two/three-dimensional variant, optical coherence tomography.

Outside work I'm a keen runner/sculler/rower/cyclist, and I do enjoy being in the outdoors (photographing them is a bonus, too!). Other hobbies include tinkering with things, both big and small (not always with a positive outcome, I must say), travelling, reading, in no specific order.

I’m on Flickr, too…
