Anne Schmitt serves as a Lecturer at the Faculty of Sports Sciences of Paris-Saclay University in Bures sur Yvette, France, with her office located in Building 335, Office No. 38 on Pierre de Coubertin Street.
Her research specializes in the sociology of sport with a critical focus on gender inequalities, particularly through international comparative studies of surfing and sailing school programs. Employing qualitative methodologies including ethnographic observations and interviews, she analyzes social determinants of gendered inequality reproduction and resistance strategies against male domination in aquatic sports. Her work uniquely intersects gender and social class relations while examining high-level nautical practices such as women's big wave surfing, where exceptional female performances actively challenge historically constructed gender hierarchies in sports.
