HART is delighted to welcome Dr Meredith Nash from the School of Social Sciences, University of Tasmania, as a visiting scholar later in the year. Meredith is an interdisciplinary qualitative researcher in the fields of feminist sociology of the body, health sociology, and human geography whose work focuses on the gendered body as a way of understanding the relationships between people, place, politics, and culture. Her current research interests include: physical activity in rural populations, parkrun (demographic and experiential aspects), CrossFit/masculinities, postfeminist fitness media, and leadership for women in STEMM. Meredith is a member of the Athena Swan Self-Assessment Team at the University of Tasmania, and will be a visiting scholar with HART and with the Eleanor Glanville Centre at Lincoln during autumn 2017.
