I have been researching and writing about women's football in South Africa since 2006, and I am particularly interested in questions surrounding embodiment, empowerment and sexuality in women’s sport. I am also involved in a Gender and Sport Research Collective, with my colleagues Lucy Mills and Cassandra Clark. Our most recent project was an exploration of women's football and the 2010 World Cup. I now work for SCORE as a Programme Coordinator for Research and Development.

Mari Haugaa Engh's Biography
I am from Norway, but I have been living, studying and working in South Africa since 2004. I have studied at the University of Cape Town, and I completed my masters thesis in February 2010.
My interest in sport research and sport development is grounded in my own experiences as a football player, but also in a commitment to feminist research, writing and advocacy.
