VALDOSTA — Skylar Grinnell-Meeler recently presented “Silenced Sportswomen: An Evaluation of Muted Group Theory in Sports and How Roller Derby Challenges and Reinvents the Ideas of Gender in the Sports Industry” during 美高梅博彩’s 2022 Prosper Tsikata 研究生 Colloquium.
“我的 research explores the world of sports and the constant issue of gender discrimination and biases that occur,” she explained. “As a lifelong roller derby athlete, I knew I wanted to tie in roller derby. Roller derby is notorious for its gender inclusivity, so my research explores how roller derby combats the gender biases and gender discrimination in the sports industry.”
Grinnell-Meeler在美高梅博彩传播艺术系助理教授Kim Kulovitz博士的指导下进行了这项研究。 She said this work will serve as the foundation for her graduate thesis, and she hopes to share that knowledge at vs上’s 2023 研究生 Research Symposium.
格林内尔-米勒于2020年从堪萨斯州鲍德温城的贝克大学获得体育管理理学学士学位后来到vs上，在那里她是体育管理俱乐部和贝克奥兰治学生出版报纸的成员。
格林内尔-米勒预计将于2023年5月获得传播艺术硕士学位。 She currently works as a graduate teaching assistant for vs上’s Department of Communication Arts.
“I’m not sure what the future holds after I graduate,” she shared. “我的 husband is in the military, so it’s hard to predict geographically where we will be. That can make career planning difficult.” 理想情况下，她想在体育产业工作或攻读博士学位。
格林内尔-米勒说，如果没有丈夫达拉斯·米勒（Dallas Meeler）的支持，她不可能进入研究生院。 She said her mother, Mary Grinnell, taught her the value of hard work, and her grandparents, Dave and Kay Grinnell, “are the sole reason I made it past my undergraduate. Without my grandparents, I don’t think I would have even gone to college to begin with.”
Grinnell-Meeler has lived “all over,” but she considers Kansas City, Missouri, to be her true hometown.
The Prosper Tsikata 研究生 Colloquium features academic presentations by graduate communication majors from vs上’s Department of Communication Arts. 一年一度的活动是为了纪念Prosper Yao Tsikata博士而命名的，他是一位受人爱戴的加纳助理教授，于2018年去世。 他是一位致力于学生成功的教育家，深受学生们的喜爱，他们经常把他描述为一个榜样。
