Molly Harry is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sport Management. Prior to coming to UF, she was an assistant professor in the Department of Recreation and Sport Management (RESM) at the University of Arkansas.
Through predominantly qualitative and mixed methods approaches, her research explores ways to integrate “big-time” athletics into the American academy with a focus on two areas: (1) Understanding the relationship between the NCAA, institutions, and athletic departments, and (2) examining ways the NCAA, institutions, and athletic departments can improve athletes’ developmental opportunities and experiences.
Harry was named the College Sport Research Institute's (CSRI) Emerging Scholar (2024). She has served in roles as an Assistant Editor for the Journal of Higher Education and Athletics Innovation and an Editorial Board Member for the Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics (JIIA). Harry has several publications in JIIA, the Journal of Intercollegiate Sport (JIS), and Innovative Higher Education, with forthcoming works in both the Sociology of Sport Journal and Communication and Sport.
Harry was born in Gainesville and grew up in Tampa, Fla. She enjoys working out, hiking, cooking/trying new recipes, reading mystery novels, and watching sports with family and friends.
