<div style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US">Cheerleading – an activity with origins in the elite, male-dominated domain of the late 19th century American university campus – is now a highly popular feminised sport which is both fetishised and loathed
by a range of ostensibly disparate social groups. T</span>hat a relatively unremarkable feminine athletic endeavour provokes such intense cultural anxiety and sexual obsession makes cheerleading a singularly revealing object of study. My research in this area:
interrogates the relevance of traditional media studies models such as moral panic theory; problematises orthodox understandings of the progressive/transgressive politics involved in active audienceship and self-publishing; explicates some of the dangers of
celebratory rhetoric framing new media ecosystems; and probes the usefulness of new approaches to explicating power flows in media environments.</div>
