Women in a Digitized Sports Culture – Nordic Perspectives
About the book: Despite the Nordic countries’ strong global reputation for gender equality and digital advancement, women in sport continue to face significant challenges rooted in historically entrenched structures of inequality. This book looks at how waves of mediatization are affecting different groups of women sports professionals: athletes, coaches, referees, and journalists. Drawing on work from sociology, media and communication, cultural studies and gender studies, this book considers the processes by which new technologies and digital media are saturating everyday sporting practices and shaping the professional lives and careers of women in sport. It expands our understanding of sport and social issues in Nordic society, of the Nordic model of sport, and of how intersections of gender, digital technology and media impact on sport everywhere.
