Cheryl Cooky is a Professor in the School of Interdisciplinary Studies at Purdue University, holding joint appointments in American Studies and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. She serves as Associate Editor for the Sociology of Sport Journal and is a past-president of the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport, while also advising the Women's Sports Foundation's National Policy Board. Her academic journey includes: Ph.D. and M.A. in Sociology from the University of Southern California M.S. in Sport Studies from Miami University B.S. in Kinesiology from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Dr. Cooky's research interrogates the complex intersections of gender, sport, and media through critical feminist lenses. Her work exposes systemic inequities in sports representation, challenges heteronormative frameworks in athletic culture, and documents the uneven progress of social change in women's sports. She employs interdisciplinary methodologies to analyze how media narratives construct gendered athletic identities and perpetuate institutional barriers, with particular attention to digital activism and intersectional experiences of gender-expansive athletes. Analysis of her recent publications reveals persistent themes of media bias against women's sports, the weaponization of femininity in athletic contexts, and the paradoxical nature of feminist progress within sports institutions. Her scholarship demonstrates how seemingly progressive policies often maintain structural inequalities through subtle mechanisms like gender-bland sexism in sports journalism and the sexualization of female athletes' imagery. As a public intellectual, Dr. Cooky has significantly influenced media discourse through op-eds and commentary in over 100 outlets including The New York Times , The Guardian , and National Public Radio . Her co-authored book No Slam Dunk: Gender, Sport and the Unevenness of Social Change remains foundational in sports sociology, while her longitudinal studies on televised sports coverage provide empirical evidence of enduring gender disparities since the 1980s.

Professor Jennifer DeWitt is a leading researcher at the UCL Institute of Education, where she serves in the Education, Practice & Society department. With an extensive publication record of 62 works and over 7,000 citations, she is recognized internationally for her contributions to science education research. Her work primarily focuses on understanding science aspirations, career pathways, and equity issues in STEM education through the innovative lens of 'science capital' theory. Professor DeWitt's research interests span several interconnected areas: science education, career aspirations and pathways, STEM participation and equity, educational sociology, gender studies in education, museum and informal science education, and science capital theory. Her work consistently applies sociological frameworks, particularly Bourdieusian theory, to examine how social structures and individual agency interact to shape educational outcomes. She has made significant contributions to understanding how factors like gender, social class, and ethnicity intersect to influence science participation. Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on longitudinal research examining science and career aspirations from childhood through early adulthood. Her work consistently demonstrates how early educational experiences and social contexts shape later career decisions, with particular attention to equity issues and underrepresented groups in STEM fields. The development and application of the science capital framework represents one of her most significant theoretical contributions to the field. Professor DeWitt's research has been supported through major collaborative projects, most notably the ASPIRES study, which has tracked young people's science and career aspirations from age 10 to 22. This longitudinal approach has allowed her to document how science aspirations develop (or decline) over time and identify key factors that influence whether young people pursue science careers. Her work has had substantial impact on science education policy and practice in the UK and internationally. Her collaborations span multiple institutions including University College London, University of Bristol, University of Bath, Stanford University, and King's College London, reflecting the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of her research. These partnerships have enabled her to address complex questions about science education from multiple perspectives and methodological approaches.
