Teams and roles for Charlotte Seegers

Research student
School of Geography and Planning

After 10 years working in video production, I returned to academia to merge my skills as a video ethnographer and documentary filmmaker with academic research. As a female cyclist myself, I am keen to explore how alternative femininities and masculinities are constructed through physical movements. To this end, I am developing innovative video methods to gain deeper and more nuanced insights into embodied and affective knowledge and expanding the possibility of video-ethnography.

Thesis

Exploring gender identities through women long distance cycling affective experiences with creative video methods

My PhD research employs a creative mobile video-ethnography to explore women bike touring and ultra-cycling affective experiences in Europe and the UK.

Funding sources

ESRC

My interests span across mobility, gender, sports studies, and creative methods. I hold an MSc in Visual Anthropology from Goldsmiths, University of London (2013–2014), and an MSc in Social Science Research Methods from Cardiff University (2023–2024). Between these periods, I worked as a documentary filmmaker and video ethnographer, living in France, the UK, and Portugal.
