Sport Scholar Profile | Noemi Steuerwald | University of Bern, Switzerland
Noemi Steuerwald is completing her PhD in history while conducting interdisciplinary research across history, literature, and animal-human studies. Her PhD thesis focuses on the cultural and gender history of equestrian sport, examining how gender difference is constructed and reproduced in a discipline where physical differences do not disadvantage women. Looking ahead, she is interested in expanding her research on to the interplay between commercialization, power, and gender in sport, exploring how social hierarchies and institutional structures shape participation and meaning-making across both amateur and elite contexts.
