Sarah Crews is a performance and media studies scholar and senior lecturer at the University of South Wales whose research centres on vectors of power as they relate to gender, activism, sport, and performance making practices. Sarah's recent research projects are concerned with how female boxers are represented in sport and popular media, and how their work challenges stereotypes of female bodies. Sarah is in the process of developing an archive of female contributions to Welsh boxing in collaboration with People's Collection Wales. P. Solomon Lennox is the head of the Department of Arts at Northumbria University. His research explores the relationships between physical performance practices, theories of performance space, and narrative identity. Solomon has published in the area of combat sports, specifically boxing. His work examines the connections between narrative tropes and physical performance practices. Solomon is currently developing work on the power of memetic performance, memetic haunting, and activism.
