Not Just Trolls
Online abuse directed toward elite athletes is a recognised problem, with research beginning to document its gendered impacts. While much of the debate about online abuse in sport focuses on identifying abusive behaviours, the perspectives of athletes themselves remain under examined. This article investigates the experiences of professional and elite women’s sport athletes exposed to online harm, with the aim of understanding their experiences a…
Media reporting of cancel culture
Definitions of cancel culture are contested; its meanings and effects are understood in often polarised ways as either an empowering tool for social justice or a dangerous demonising trend. Social media are central to cancel culture as the source of “incriminating” material, the channels through which call-outs and cancellations occur, and sites of meta discussion, debate, and commentary on cancellation, with posts often referred to in reports of…
Advancing Gender Equality in Sport Through Matricentric Activism
In this article, we explore how sport fan practices can advance feminist aims and gender equity in sport contexts. Using a matricentric feminist perspective and thematic analysis of 19 in-depth interviews with mothers from Australia and North America, we examine the social and political dimensions of mother fans’ actions when responding to gender disparities in sport systems and cultures. We identify several ways in which mothers practiced a comm…

Sportsball anti-fandom as identity performance on X
This article identifies a novel form of sports anti-fan identity present amongst X (formerly Twitter) followers of The Australian Football League Women's (AFLW) competition - #sportsball fans - whose nascent attachment to women's Australian Rules football is publicly performed as an ironically detached becoming-a-fan-ness, often rooted in a self-identified, pre-existing aversion to both sport and sports fandom. The term #sportsball serves as a sh…
When Sport Fandom Meets Motherhood
Existing literature provides nascent insights into structural arrangements that shape mothers’ experiences of being a sport fan, yet we know little about the social meaning sport fandom holds for mothers. This exploratory study draws on qualitative interviews with 41 mothers from Australia and North America to examine their understandings of sport fandom in the context of their everyday lives and contemporary ideologies about mothering. Findings …
STEMinist sensibilities in the promotion of STEM and tech participation to women and girls
In recent years, organizations aiming to empower women and girls to participate in STEM have proliferated. While the issue of gender inequality in STEM is well documented, little is known about the feminist appeals these organizations make to girls. This study analyses the websites of five Australian ‘women in tech’ organizations to understand how they frame and respond to the problem of gender inequality, and what feminist sentiments they reflec…
Fighting Visibility
Visibility and Vulnerability on Instagram
This article investigates how safety is experienced, navigated and cultivated by women on Instagram. Using qualitative interview data, we explore women’s understanding and practices of keeping themselves and others safe when sharing information-rich images about their exercising bodies and fitness activities. Drawing on literatures from feminist leisure, sport and media studies, this article advances discussions about exercising women’s negotiati…
Rethinking Women’s “Performance and Image-Enhancing Drug Consumption”
Women’s “performance and image-enhancing drug consumption” is a growing phenomenon yet remains an under-studied area of research. This essay reviews the existing literature on women’s consumption and draws on Fraser’s concept of ontopolitically-oriented research to develop an agenda for future research. Ontopolitically-oriented research applies insights from Science and Technology Studies (STS) to consider the ontological politics of research pra…
A feminist embodied ethics of social media use
This article adopts a feminist relational orientation to investigate the care practices that women develop when producing and engaging with body-focussed content online. We propose and argue for an embodied ethics of social media use to understand women’s enactments and exchanges as they relate to shared corporeal concerns. Drawing on qualitative interview data, and using Judith Butler’s understanding of corporeal vulnerability as the basis for m…
Understanding Australian adolescent girls’ use of digital technologies for healthy lifestyle purposes
The findings reiterate that one size doesn't fit all girls, and often one size might not even fit one girl, and thus highlight the challenge of catering to such varied use cases. Overall, it appears that current digital technology offerings meet the needs and preferences of adolescent girls for healthy lifestyle purposes, however there may be benefit in allowing greater customisation of use, and consumer driven tailoring of content, according to …

The paper outlines our methodological and ethical relationships to doing feminist research with and about women and girls, taking Margaret McClaren’s activist lens as a starting point to consider issues of p…
I Just Don’t Wanna Deal With the Headache of People Fighting Over the Internet”
Drawing on data from a qualitative study of sponsored and professional female climbers, this article offers a timely examination of the digital labor undertaken by women seeking to forge identities and livelihoods in sport. Female climbers are increasingly turning to social media to generate visibility and sponsorship opportunities in response to the changing social and commercial imperatives of sport, yet the perspective of participants is lacki…
Bodies, gender, and digital affect in fitspiration media
This paper takes an affective approach to theorizing the production and circulation of fitspiration media within a women’s Instagram fitness community. In the context of fitness culture trends towards digitally networked, interactive, and quantified experiences, our study contributes to debates about the impacts of fitspiration media on women by investigating the expressions, feelings, and connections that arise through the self-presentation and …
Pretty Disgusted Honestly
In this article, we argue that the “turn to affect” can provide a generative framework for working through key sticking points for women in sport. Through an analysis of the rule changes and subsequent social media comments in the lead-up to the inaugural Australian Football League Women’s (AFLW) competition, we demonstrate the power of emotions for intensifying and resisting discussion about women’s participation in male-dominated sport, as they…
Self-Representations of Women’s Sport Fandom on Instagram at the 2015 Fifa Women’s World Cup
The purpose of this study is to investigate how fans of women’s sport are using Instagram to self-represent their fandom. It uses the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup (WWC) as a case study to examine the ways in which fans at a women’s sport event express their fandom through images and to consider the social and political dimensions of using Instagram for promoting women’s sport. Instagram pictures containing the event-related hashtags #FIFAWWC, #Liv…
Women and Sport in Australia—New Times
It would seem there has never been a better time to be a woman in Australian sport. Recentchanges in the Australian sport landscape have drawn the publics attention to issues ofgender progress. Notable among these developments was the launch of the Australian FootballLeague Womens (AFLW) and Super Netball competitions in 2017. Both competitions markeda new phase for players of these sports. The AFLW offered women, for the first time, an opportuni…
Sport, Alcohol and Women
This article describes an emerging research agenda for defining the relationship between women, sport and alcohol as a feminist issue. Characterised as a “holy trinity”, the relationship between sport, drinking, particularly heavy drinking, and masculinity remains a popular orthodoxy. While not disputing the enduring and influential symbolic, economic, political and cultural power relations between men, sport and alcohol, the article argues that …
The athletic labour of femininity
This article explores the relationship between consumer culture, female athletic representation and online fan engagement on the photograph-based social media platform Instagram. It argues that social media interaction between female athletes and fans is governed by gender norms and arrangements that expect and reward female athletic articulations of empowerment, entrepreneurialism and individualisation in the context of postfeminism and consumer…
Female athletes' self-representation on social media
Existing research into the depiction of female athletes has indicated that while they remain under-represented across traditional and online media outlets, social media is a potential tool for female athletes to redress this lack of coverage, and even contest and rework normative gender and sexual identities in sport. This paper challenges such arguments by offering a feminist thematic analysis of how five international female athletes are using …
Introduction
Feminist scholars have long been at the forefront of advancing the study of sport to address the intersections of gender, race, class, sexuality and ability in framing sporting encounters and experiences (Douglas, 2005; Hargreaves, 2000; King & McDonald, 1997; Scraton, 2001). The field, however, is largely dominated by research that details the gender operations of sport across North America, Europe and the United Kingdom (what is often referred …

New approaches for studies of Muslim women and sport
This article offers a new approach for examining Muslim women in sport, which combines the domains of sporting participation, consumption and representation. It proposes moving beyond a sports development paradigm and deficit model of sports participation, whereby marginal communities are incorporated into the mainstream by playing sport, to take account of other ways that people engage with sport as consumers and fans. Conceptually, this approac…
Sportswomen and Social Media
In this article, we take seriously the challenges of making sense of a sporting (and media) context that increasingly engages female athletes as active, visible, and autonomous, while inequalities pertaining to gender, sexuality, race, and class remain stubbornly persistent across sport institutions and practices. We do so by engaging with three recent feminist critiques that have sought to respond to the changing operations of gender relations a…

Women Academics and Work–Life Balance
This article examines how discourses of work–life balance are appropriated and used by women academics. Using data collected from semi‐structured, single person interviews with 31 scholars at an Australian university, it identifies and explores four ways in which participants construct their relationship to work–life balance as: (1) a personal management task; (2) an impossible ideal; (3) detrimental to their careers; and (4) unmentionable at wor…

Analyzing Media Representations of Sportswomen—Expanding the Conceptual Boundaries Using a Postfeminist Sensibility
This article seeks to expand the conceptual boundaries of sport media research by investigating the utility of a postfeminist sensibility for analyzing depictions of women in sport. Rosalind Gill’s (2007) notion of a postfeminist sensibility is situated within UK-led feminist critiques of gendered neoliberalism in popular culture and offers a conceptual lens through which sports scholars might interrogate the complex and contradictory media lands…

Iranian Women's Sports Fandom
As sport enters new global territories, attending to questions of cultural difference is increasingly important to studies of women's sports fanship. This article draws on theories of transnational feminism and feminist sports scholarship to contemplate the cinematic portrayal of the non-Western female football supporter. Women sports fans rarely appear as film protagonists, with the notable exception of the 2006 movie Offside, which tells the st…
How is gender-based violence covered in the sporting news? An account of the Australian Football League sex scandal
Rogue Men and Predatory Women
The 2004 Australian Football League and National Rugby League seasons started amidst claims made by women about players behaving inappropriately towards them. A raft of allegations surfaced in the media, prompting nationwide debate on the issue of sportsmen and violence. While sport sociologists have made important inroads toward understanding sexual misconduct by male athletes, much of this research appears to focus on the socio-cultural factors…
Sexy women sports fans
In recent years the relationship between women and sport fandom has undergone significant shifts. The rapidly changing sphere of global sport is seen to offer women newly visible roles in the global sport economy as fans, broadcasters, celebrity athletes, and media personalities. In light of calls for greater inclusivity and diversity in sport, this paper examines the emergence of new forms of “sexually empowered” female fandom, which situate wom…

Advertising the 2015 Cricket World Cup
Intersectional accounts of how women sports fans from diverse cultural backgrounds are represented remain largely unconsidered in fandom literature.

Doing what your big sister does
Mass-marketed teen chick lit has become a publishing phenomenon and has begun to attract critical interest among children’s literature scholars. Much of this critical work, however, has shied away from robust critical assessment of the postfeminist conditions informing the production and reception of young adult series like Private, Gossip Girl and Choose Your Own Destiny. Existing analyses may nod to the origins of the genre in women’s chick lit…
Baudrillard, Postfeminism, and the Image Makeover
Jean Baudrillard’s claim that we inhabit a transaesthetic and integral reality raises significant questions for feminists seeking to analyze how women are represented in Western media through the neoliberal guises of empowerment and choice. These questions relate to the impossibility of differentiating between feminist and antifeminist themes amid the implosive forces of a virtualized significatory and political economy. To map what a feminist-Ba…
