Fiona has focused her academic career on understanding and illuminating inequalities in sport and physical activity. Her current research focuses on mountain biking, talking to women cyclists, industry and media to understand the persistent gender inequalities in the scene, and has shown the culture to remain male-dominated.
“Our follow-on projects seek to provide greater visibility and support for communities of women in mountain biking. Our research is ongoing and based on a personal passion for mountain biking, which has also driven me to run Bristol Shredders, a club for children up to 13.”
