Emma Wensing’s current research explores the relationships between local arts and crafts, heritage and national identity. In particular, she focuses on the performance and practice of the Australian Anzac discourse at the individual and personal level. Emma’s earlier research has used focal points such as the Olympics and Commonwealth Games to examine intersections of national identity, race and gender in the sports media. She has published in the International Review of Sport Sociology, Australian Aboriginal Studies, the Waikato Journal of Education and the International Review of Women and Leadership. Emma holds a Masters in Sport and Leisure Studies (University of Waikato, New Zealand, 2003) and a Bachelor of Applied Science (University of Canberra, Australia, 2000). She is completing her PhD studies at the Australian National University, Canberra.
