Hello there, my name is Kevin Judge and I am a PhD Student researching the game of Bridge through the lifecourse of its players, at the University of Stirling, Scotland. The PhD research is a collaborative partnership between the University of Stirling and EBED (English Bridge Education and Development), with contributions from IBU (Irish Bridge Union), NIBU (Northern Irish Bridge Union), SBU (Scottish Bridge Union), and WBU (Welsh Bridge Union). This research represents a fantastic opportunity to understand communities at play, from both historical and contemporary perspectives. The objective of this PhD is to develop a Sociology of Bridge and contribute to the sustainability of the game.
