This two-year postdoctoral project will analyse the impact of online spaces on women's electric guitar practice and examine the factors that enable and motivate women to become electric guitarists. Studies have shown that women have been inhibited from becoming electric guitarists due to a variety of sociocultural factors. However, these studies largely pre-dated the Internet and did not examine its role in related musical practices. The objectives of WEG are as follows: 1) To generate new data on women guitarists' online practices, with attention to different generations, and affordances of relevant platforms; 2) To generate new data about the specifically gendered nature of that engagement, both positive and negative; and 3) To generate new data on the changing discourses about guitars and women guitarists. The objectives will be achieved through three phases of research. The first will involve analysis of online guitar magazines to locate content related to women and their guitar practices and to establish what the discourses around them are. Next, the ER will utilize netnography to explore and analyse women's online activities related to electric guitar practice, such as watching tutorials, taking lessons, buying equipment, posting self-performance videos, and engaging in online forums. Third, the ER will conduct in-depth qualitative interviews with women electric guitarists from a wide age range and with different levels of experience. WEG will generate new knowledge that will be of interest to scholars across disciplines, will be relevant to the marketing departments of guitar manufacturers, and aims to encourage more women to become interested in the electric guitar and therefore play a role in consumer awareness. WEG will enhance the ER's career prospects by enabling a more developed intellectual profile, methodological expertise, four publications that will strengthen her publication record, and will foster a relevant, UK-based professional network.

这个为期两年的博士后项目将分析在线空间对女性电吉他练习的影响，并研究使女性成为电吉他手的因素。研究表明，由于各种社会文化因素，女性一直被禁止成为电吉他手。然而，这些研究在很大程度上是在互联网出现之前进行的，并没有考察互联网在相关音乐实践中的作用。工作组的目标如下：1)生成关于女性吉他手在线实践的新数据，关注不同世代，以及相关平台的承受能力；2)生成关于这种参与的具体性别性质的新数据，包括正面和负面的；以及3)生成关于关于吉他和女性吉他手的不断变化的话语的新数据。目标将通过三个阶段的研究来实现。第一个将涉及分析在线吉他杂志，以找到与女性及其吉他练习有关的内容，并确定她们周围的话语是什么。接下来，ER将利用网络图形学来探索和分析妇女与电吉他练习有关的在线活动，如观看教程、上课、购买设备、发布自我表演视频和参与在线论坛。第三，ER将对不同年龄段和不同经验水平的女性电吉他手进行深入的定性访谈。WEG将产生跨学科学者感兴趣的新知识，将与吉他制造商的营销部门相关，旨在鼓励更多女性对电吉他感兴趣，从而在提高消费者意识方面发挥作用。WEG将通过提供更发达的知识状况、方法专长、四种出版物来加强ER的出版记录，并将培养一个相关的、设在英国的专业网络，从而提高ER的职业前景。
