Stephanie Foxton (she/her) is a PhD candidate studying Applied Linguistics within Te Kura Tātari Reo – School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies at Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington. Stephanie’s work crosses the areas of workplace discourse analysis; language, gender, and sexuality; and the growing field of sports linguistics. Her research aims to examine the (re)negotiation of gender, sex, and sexual identities within sports organisations. Her PhD project is inspired by her own experiences as a queer woman in sport and Stephanie intends to use her findings as catalyst for change, to improve the experiences of LGBTQIA+ athletes on and off the field.
