Julie Gaucher is a Lecturer affiliated with Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and the L-ViS laboratory (Laboratoire sur les Vulnérabilités et l'Innovation dans le Sport). Her research bridges sports history, literature, and gender studies, with a focus on cultural representations of athletics in French society.
Research Interests: She investigates sports as cultural phenomena, examining:
- Gender representations in sports literature and media
- Historical evolution of women's sports in France (1870-1945)
- Olympic Games as cultural heritage sites
- Masculinity constructs in early 20th-century sports narratives
- Intersections of comics, literature, and athletic representation
Publication Trends: Gaucher's recent work (2014-2019) demonstrates consistent focus on gender dynamics in sports history. Her articles analyze cultural narratives through literary texts, athlete interviews, and historical documents, with recurring themes of Olympic heritage, media representation of athletes, and masculinity/femininity constructs in French sports culture.
Research Collaborations: She collaborates with the L-ViS laboratory team on projects examining innovation and vulnerability in sports, and has participated in international conferences including the Transnational Scholars for the Study of Gender and Sport.
