Dr. Sulz is an Associate Professor with a focus on physical and health education. Lauren's research includes physical and health literacy, school sport and school-based physical activities, whole-child education, comprehensive school health, and health and physical education pedagogy. She works collaboratively with teachers, researchers and community stakeholders to enhance students’ physical activity and health behaviors through changes to school curricula, school policy and school environments.
