Seriousness and Women's Roller Derby by Maddie Breeze

Seriousness and Women's Roller Derby by Maddie Breeze

This book explores seriousness in practice in the unique sports context of contemporary women's flat track roller derby. The author presents a stimulating argument for a sociology of seriousness as a productive contribution to understandings of gender, organization and the mid-ranges of agency between dichotomies of voluntarism and determinism.

Maddie Breeze is a Research Fellow in Sociology at the University of Edinburgh, UK. She is interested in gender sociology, feminist and post-structuralist theory, and qualitative research methods.
