Miriam Snellgrove is a Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Glasgow, specializing in micro-sociological feminist understandings of everyday life with a particular focus on gender, leisure practices, and qualitative methodologies. Her doctoral research delved into the intentional life-sharing within the Camphill community network and has since expanded into a sociology of mindsport, particularly through a case study of the card game bridge. Currently, she is involved in a research project titled 'Waste. Water. Walking.' which investigates narratives of well-being in relation to green and blue spaces, as well as leisure practices such as walking and swimming. This project examines the complex and often extractive relationships that walkers and swimmers have with their environments, utilizing ethnographic situated writing approaches. Snellgrove's research interests encompass a variety of areas including dirty leisure, leisure practices like swimming and walking, feminist conceptualisations of leisure, and qualitative methodologies including ethnography and creative methods. She actively supervises undergraduate and postgraduate students and welcomes inquiries from potential PhD candidates, focusing on themes such as everyday life, gender leisure, and qualitative creative methodologies.
