Intersectionality , wellbeing and women's experiences of rock climbing

交叉性、幸福感和女性攀岩体验尽管攀岩是一项发展迅速的运动，但关于性别和攀岩的研究有限，英国有100万人在室内独立攀岩，攀岩将于2021年在奥运会上首次亮相。虽然研究强调女性登山者积极挑战男性的统治地位，以及社会对女性气质和适当身体活动的典型观念，但这部作品中历史和当代形式的主要叙事来自来自全球北方的白人、健全、富有的女性。女性参加体育运动对健康和福祉的好处是有争议的。没有研究详细探讨女性攀岩体验的幸福感方面或女性登山者体验的多样性。交叉性需要建立对妇女幸福和攀岩的性别经历的理解，以探索性别、种族和阶级关系如何塑造不平等模式，并理解攀岩空间是如何根据性别/种族/阶级权力进行谈判的(瓦伦丁，2007年)。这项研究将探索女性在幸福感和攀岩方面的生活经历。通过生活史研究，将创建当代女性攀岩档案，将不同女性的幸福生活经历与女性攀岩差异和多样性的关键历史相对照(Smith，2008；Ritchie，2015；Sommer and Quinlan，2018)。

Intersectionality, Wellbeing and Women's Experiences of Rock ClimbingResearch on gender and rock climbing is limited, despite climbing being a rapidly developing sport, with 1 million people in the UK climbing independently indoors and climbing set to debut at the Olympics in 2021. Whilst studies highlight that female climbers actively challenge male dominance, as well as society's typical notions of femininity and female appropriate physical activity the dominant narratives in this work in historical and contemporary forms are from women who are white, able-bodied, wealthy and from the Global North. The health and wellbeing benefits of sporting participation for women are contested. No studies explore in detail the wellbeing aspect of the female climbing experience or the diversity of experiences of female climbers. Intersectionality needs to frame an understanding of women's gendered experiences of wellbeing and rock-climbing to explore the ways that relations of gender, race and class shape patterns of inequality and understand how climbing spaces are negotiated in terms of gender/race/class power (Valentine, 2007). This study will explore women's lived intersectional experiences of wellbeing and rock climbing. Through life history research, a contemporary female rock-climbing archive will be created, situating diverse women's lived experiences of wellbeing against a critical history of female difference and diversity in climbing (Smith, 2008; Ritchie, 2015; Sommer and Quinlan, 2018).
