In this episode, I am chatting to Dr Rachael Bullingham, who is a Senior Lecturer in Physical Education at the University of Worcester. Rachael’s research is all about homophobia in sport. In her PhD, for instance, she analysed the experiences of openly lesbian athletes participating in team sports. She has published ‘Out in Sport’, as well as book chapters and various articles on the portrayal and perception of lesbian athletes in the media. At the moment she is exploring the experiences of gay and lesbian teachers and female commentators. A further activity of Rachel’s is being part of the Sport Collision Collective, the focus of which is to make rugby, within educational settings, safer for children.
