Research Interests
Research Details
Eileen's research focuses on the discursive construction of identities with the sport, exercise and fitness media, paying attention to the intersections of gender, class, race and national identity. She is the co-author, with Laura Hills, of Sport, Media and Society (Berg) and the co-editor, with Pirkko Markula, of Women and Exercise: The Body, Health and Consumerism (Routledge). In addition to media research, Eileen is interested in providing socio-cultural perspectives within multidisciplinary research projects, and has been involved in researching the culture of nutrition in professional football.
