Anne Osborne

Anne Osborne teaches a range of classes on media and culture. Osborne’s teaching is informed by her research on gender, sports and fandom. She has published peer-reviewed articles in journals such as International Journal of Sport Communication, Journal of Public Relations Research, and Sport in Society, as well as several book chapters. She is lead author of "Female Fans of the NFL: Taking their Place in the Stands" (Routledge, 2016), and is working on a new book titled "Transgender and Intersex Athletes Against Gender Binaries in Sports: Discourses of Difference" (Peter Lang, 2019).
