Biography

Mary Louise Adams is a Professor in the Department of Sociology at Queen's University. She holds a PhD from the University of Toronto and has a strong background in Kinesiology and Health Studies. Her research focuses on everyday movement, recreation cultures, and the intersections of gender, embodiment, and cultural context. Adams employs a variety of qualitative, interpretive, and historical methods to explore the meanings of movement and the relationship of active bodies within historical and cultural frameworks. Current projects investigate the political, environmental, and cultural history of municipal parks, expressions of feminist utopian ideals in recreational sports, and the dynamics of sexual harassment in sport coaching. She is the author of several significant books and articles in the field, including "Artistic Impressions: Figure Skating, Masculinity and Limits of Sport" and has been awarded for her scholarly contributions by organizations such as the Women's Gender Studies Association and the North American Society for Sport History.
