Item Being there, being here: What critical field methods can tell us about WWC 2019(2021) Bagley, Meredith M.; Mary Anne, Taylor; University of Alabama TuscaloosaWhile studies of rhetoric and discourse have recently (albeit slowly) embraced a turn to “field methods”, studies of sport discourse have remained reliant on textual or mediated artifacts. This is concerning to the authors given the ability of rhetorical field methods to capture “live” and “processual” rhetoric such as that occurring in and around live sporting events (Middleton, Senda-Cook & Endres, 2011). In this study we leverage the authors’ various experiences “being there” for the 2019 FIFA World Cup to ask what the women’s soccer World Cup meant on social, cultural, and rhetorical levels.Item Blocked Out; Athletic Voices and WNBA Uniform Politics(2021) Bagley, Meredith M.; Liao, Judy; University of Alabama TuscaloosaWNBA uniform politics in 2016 coalesced around three distinct voices: corporate sponsor logos, sanctioned pro-LGBTQ demonstration, and an unsanctioned Black Lives Matter player protest. We argue that uniform politics reveal a cautious, commercially linked, single-issue approach to social engagement in the WNBA.
