Biography
Elisabet Apelmo is Lecturer in the Department of Social Work at Malmö University, Sweden. She is a visual artist with a PhD in Sociology.
'This book applies phenomenology to a much understudied area—that of women with disabilities in sport. The book interrogates the role that gender plays across political, social and sporting domains while also deepening our understanding of the physicality of the human body and insights into the feminist mind.' - Anjali J. Forber-Pratt, Vanderbilt University, U.S.A and Two-time U.S. Paralympian
‘What a gem! The book offers an evocative and theoretically insightful account of sporting women and disability. The content covered is expansive, topical, and clear. Riveting to read, brimming with rich qualitative data and ideas, it fills an important void in the field.’ - Brett Smith, University of Birmingham, UK
