Autorenporträt

Aarti Ratna is a senior lecturer in the sociology of sport and leisure at Leeds Beckett University, UK. Dr Ratna's scholarship is shaped by the contributions of Black feminist intellectuals, and she uses this theoretical lens to inform her research about race, gender, sport, leisure, and popular culture. Many of her publications have specifically focused upon the multifaceted subjectivities of British Asian female footballers. Her more recent projects aim to examine gender, belonging, diaspora communities and the changing leisure lifestyles of older South Asian men and women Samaya F. Samie is a critical educator whose interdisciplinary research interests include the fields of sociology, race and ethnic studies, south Asian studies, women and gender studies, post-colonial feminist epistemologies, sport and popular culture. Her published work focuses not only on the complex identity work of young British Pakistani Muslim men and their constructions of religious masculinities through sport and physical education, but also explores the intersections of gender, 'race', culture and religion in the lives of sporting (south Asian) Muslim women living in diaspora communities in the 'West'
