Professor Bio

 

Dr. Tamar Z. Semerjian received her B.A. degrees in Human Biodynamics and Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and her M.A. and Ph.D. in sport psychology from the department of Health, Leisure, and Sport Studies from the University of Iowa. She is the director of the Silicon Valley Health Aging Partnership (SVHAP).

Dr. Semerjian is currently a Professor of Sport and Exercise Psychology and Chair in the Department of Kinesiology at San José State University.  She teaches several courses in the department including undergraduate courses in sport psychology, sport sociology, stress management, diversity stress and health, and graduate courses in sport psychology and research methods. Dr. Semerjian’s research has included work with older adults, individuals with spinal cord injury, and transgender athletes. 

Generally, her research interests focus on exploring the experiences of marginalized groups in exercise through the lens of both cultural studies and sport psychology. In particular she has been interested in the translation of evidence-based health promotion programs in the community,  the effect of exercise on older adults’ self-perceptions, and the influence of their exercise experience on long-term participation. Because of her belief in the importance of praxis, she has been active in the aging community, implementing exercise programs that are affordable and accessible to diverse populations of older adults.

Dr. Semerjian’s published work has appeared in Spinal Cord, The Sport Psychologist, Journal of Aging and Physical Activity, Sociology of Sport Journal, and Women’s Sport and Physical Activity Journal, and she had contributed chapters to Sport for Peace and Social Justice, The Cultural Turn in Sport Psychology, The Hidden Faces of Eating Disorders and Body Image, and Battleground: Sports.

My area of expertise focuses on the psychology and cultural studies aspects of exercise across a variety of populations and contexts. My dissertation research focused on older women’s physical self-perceptions and how they related to their physical activity participation. I have taught courses in aging and physical activity, as well as implemented community based partnerships which have allowed students to learn more about exercise and aging through service learning opportunities. I was the founder of the Silicon Valley Healthy Aging Partnership, which continues to support community based organizations to offer evidence based-health promotion programs throughout Santa Clara county. I have published a number of research studies and chapters related to aging and physical activity.

In addition to a focus on aging, I have also worked in the area of disability as a member of a research team that created a cutting-edge exercise program for individuals with spinal cord injuries. My contribution to the team was to consider the psychological and sociocultural impact of the exercise program. I have also worked with transgender athletes, and have focused my research in this area as well, primarily in an effort to advocate for increased inclusion of trans athletes within all sporting and physical activity contexts. Most recently I have become interested in the use of fitness tracking applications, and the ways that the use of fitness trackers and the social media that is often used in conjunction with them impacts individuals’ physical activity experiences.

Dr. Ted Butryn completed his Ph.D. in sport psychology and cultural studies at the University of Tennessee. Since arriving at SJSU in 2000, he has taught a variety of courses in the graduate (sport sociology, qualitative research methods), undergraduate (psychology of coaching, sport sociology), and general education (diversity, stress, & health, stress management) programs.  Broadly speaking, his academic life involves the intersection between sport sociology, sport psychology, and cultural studies, and thus most of his work comes from an interdisciplinary (or transdisciplinary) perspective.  His main areas of research include the relationship between sport, technology, and the body, the subcultures of mixed martial arts and pro wrestling, doping in sport, and white racism and privilege in sport.  He has published over 30 refereed journal articles and book chapters, and given over 50 national and international conference presentations.  In 2003 he won the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport’s Outstanding Article award, and he was the recipient of the 2010 SJSU College of Applied Sciences and Arts Dean’s Scholar Award. In 2009, along with colleagues Jay Johnson and Matthew Masucci, he was the PI of a 2-year World Anti-Doping Agency grant that examined how elite, female triathletes come to know about various forms of doping and the anti-doping movement.  Finally, he was a 2012 Salzburg Fellow, and along with Dr. Matthew Masucci, he co-directs the department’s Qualitative Research Lab. Outside of his academic pursuits, Dr. Butryn was a member of the University of Tennessee track and cross-country teams, and he continues to advocate for healthy, active lifestyles.

My original area of focus was sport psychology, with an undergraduate thesis on the evolution of an eco-sport psychology, and a master’s thesis that examined the thoughts and cognitions of female distance runners in park and urban settings. During my doctoral program at Tennessee, I became interested in the lived experiences of athletes and exercisers, and thus turned my attention to various qualitative methodologies to answer my eclectic research questions. My first ever qualitative study was on the perceptions and experiences of college athletes with tattoos, and subsequently, I completed my dissertation on the technological life histories of elite track and field athletes. Currently, I continue research on cyborg sport, the psychology and sociology of mixed martial arts and the subculture of pro wrestling, doping in sport, and whiteness in sport.

Dr. Chang’s research agenda focuses on two complementary areas: Motor Development and Physical Education Teacher Education: His primary research area is the motor competence and physical activity of disadvantaged preschoolers with developmental delays. The intent of this research is to understand the complex interactions of multiple subsystems from the task, environment, and child in order to develop and implement high quality motor skill interventions in schools, communities, and families. His second line of research is to identify the types of teachers’ content knowledge (CK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and how CK and PCK play a significant role in promoting students’ fundamental motor skills in physical education class.

Dr. Chin’s research involves interdisciplinary, cross-cultural analyses, focusing particularly on the ways social, cultural and historical contexts shape and inform the construction of identity through sport and physical activity. She takes a special interest in the role of the active female body and its use in the negotiation of power. One strand of her research focuses on elements of postcommunist sport: emergent female subjectivities related to physical culture, changing patterns of lifestyle and leisure consumption, and socio-cultural tensions manifested in sport and physical activity in Romania. Other research lines include: hazing in college athletics and its impact on health and wellness of (female) athletes; intersections of culture, identity and representation of Asian (/American) athletes; and the politics and physical and social experiences of the San Jose Bike Party.

Prior to his doctoral studies at the University of Toronto, his educational background was founded and forged at San José State University where he completed his undergraduate degree in the Department of Kinesiology (B.S., concentration – sport management), as well as his graduate degree in Kinesiology (M.S., concentration – sport studies). Generally, Dr. Dao’s research is interdisciplinary and involves critical pedagogy, historical sociology, critical social theory and development studies. Dr. Dao’s research interests are rooted in sport as tool for development internationally, and sport studies in Vietnam and the Vietnamese diaspora. In a teaching capacity, Dr. Dao teaches primarily in the sport management and culture stream with links to graduate course, undergraduate core courses and general elective courses. Professionally, Dr. Dao has worked in various spaces related to sport in university athletics ranging from development, marketing, ticket operations and compliance. His most recent role was working in the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics at San José State University. Through this research and professional development Dr. Dao is an advocate for equitable and diverse practices in sport and physical activity. He aims to build bridges between the Department of Kinesiology and communities around San José to address social barriers that may prohibit marginalized from participating in sporting spaces. Moreover, as a native of San José, CA who was born to Vietnamese refugees, Dr. Dao is passionate about immigrant and refugee rights in America. He hopes his research and teaching will engage all students and communities to work towards practices of social justice.

All of her adapted physical activity/education courses have incorporated service-learning components to enable students to engage in experiential learning and giving back to community while interacting with individuals with disabilities in physical activity settings. She has successfully secured internal and external grants and has been able to create several community-based adapted physical activity programs such as a movement-based social skills program for children with autism. She is passionate for quality physical activity programs for individuals with disabilities and field sites where her students can have hands-on experiences and engage in research activities.

A Movement-based Social Skills Program for Children with Autism: Undergraduate students engaged in research activities when they participated in service-learning activities. They assisted children and youths with autism spectrum disorders in learning motor and social skills through physical activities. They collected and analyzed social and motor skills data to see any differences in the posttest and interpreted and reported the results.

 

Fitness Program and Therapeutic Exercise Program for High School Transition Students: Undergraduate students engaged in community service activities for students with disabilities in local community-based programs to increase their movement skills and fitness as well as social skills. They created participants’ physical activity profiles and collected fitness data to design appropriate therapeutic and recreational activities. Students participated in a variety of activities based on their experiences including giving poster/oral presentations and writing scholarly articles.

I began academic career at San Jose State University as a student in the Spring of 2009 after transferring from the College of San Mateo. After completing both my BA in philosophy in 2011 and my MA in Philosophy in 2014 from SJSU, a last minute and short notice, yet ideal opportunity to teach for the Kinesiology department opened up over the Summer of 2014 shortly after I received my diploma. As a freshly minted MA in philosophy, along with being life-long sports fan, teaching "Philosophical Perspectives of Sport" for the Kinesiology department was, and remains to be, a nice blend between passions. As a graduate student, I taught two introductory philosophy classes and enjoyed it overall. To be honest, I did not plan on teaching following my graduation. However, I remain grateful that my last-minute appointment as a lecturer for the KIN department has lead me to a steady full-time career which now includes teaching KIN 100w, "Writing Workshop" along with serving the KIN department and KIN students as Undergraduate Advising Manager.

 

When I am not in the classroom teaching or fulfilling my duties as advising manager, I can be found training Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ), playing guitar, and hanging out with my wife and our two cats, and diligently following the San Francisco Forty Niners and San Francisco Giants. I am currently a second degree black belt in BJJ and actively train and teach the discipline to this day. My competitive career is most likely over, but the physical and mental rigors of training and preparing for BJJ competition has served me well in my professional career in academics and life in general!

Regarding KIN 161, "Philosophical Perspectives of Sport", my personal research interests revolve around the general moral and ethical issues in contemporary and competitive sport. In my classes, I stress the emphasis of fan behavior and the complexities of the fan, player, and team relationship. As a philosophy course under the banner of the KIN department, the importance of the body (a non-dualistic approach) is another concept I focus on. In addition and more specifically, athlete objectification, moral and ethical compartmentalization within a game/sport occurrence, the battle between autonomy and paternalistic interference in regard to facing danger in sport, and the ever-present moral and ethical issues facing "high-contact" sports such as football, MMA, and boxing are common themes that a student will encounter in KIN 161.

 

For KIN 100w, "Writing Workshop", in addition to enforcing APA style guidelines and requirements, I emphasize the importance of consistency and continuity in crafting scholarly literature reviews. I stress the importance of pursuing topics of research that appeal personally to students, whether it be a personal connection or general curiosity. I firmly believe that if students pursue topics they are passionate about, the research and writing processes are more enjoyable, sustainable, and successful. I am most definitely the professor that reads every line of every major writing assignment submitted for the course. Starting with the formal topic proposal, to the annotated bibliography, up until the final draft of the culminating assignment (scholarly literature review), I make it a point to put in the effort in grading and evaluating my students that my students put into their own research and writing.

 

In my teaching and my advising, I strongly believe myself, my students, and my advisees work in unison, ensuring effort and attention is reciprocated and sustained.

Sport and physical activity is a second language for me. I grew up in the Bay Area playing a variety of sports, eventually settling on swimming and water polo as my main competitive outlet in high school. At UC Davis, I was a founding member of the men’s water polo club team in addition to competing on the university’s triathlon team. With a degree in genetics and a minor in english, I found a job after college as a writer for a small biotech media company called BioCentury Publications, where I eventually became the editor and manager of BioCentury Extra, a daily paper covering the latest biopharma news around the world.
