Teams and roles for Charlotte Seegers

Overview

After 10 years in video production, I returned to academia to combine my expertise as a video ethnographer and documentary filmmaker with academic research. For my PhD, I am particularly interested in exploring how alternative livelihoods are constructed through physical movement among self-identified childfree women endurance cyclists. To this end, I am developing innovative video methods to gain deeper, more nuanced insights into embodied and affective knowledge, while expanding the possibilities of video ethnography.

Research

My PhD examines the affective experiences of self-identified childfree women endurance cyclists.

Teaching

Undergraduate year 2: Qualitative Methods

Undergraduate year 3: Mobilities

Biography

My research interests span 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. In addition to my work as a research student, I am now a graduate tutor at Cardiff University.
