✍️ New paper out! 🐟🏃‍♀️
Thrilled to share my 1st sole-authored ethnographic case study in @QualiSEH of @QRSEsoc. A dream since my PhD began—now real. It explores depression, movement & the (un)becoming of a runner of a 6 year story through 2 year field. https://t.co/p3ftFmH6pf

New Paper🥳! I use Foucault & Han to discuss how fitness body shifts from self-discipline to self-optimisation to self-exploitation. Is it empowerment or burnout? Is fitness culture true liberation or just a new form of control? Read: https://t.co/C7frNyaBuI #Fitness #Foucault

My paper for @E_C_S_S 2025 was upgraded to an oral session (grateful!), but it meant I never got to use the comic poster I poured my heart into. So here it is: a playful take on dense theory, marginalised #PhysicalEducation, and cultural critique—with a #PowerpuffGirls twist.

[Vicky Bo Peng (She/Her) @Vvirgilicky]

Just saw that my very first publication has been cited over 100 times — deeply grateful to everyone who’s read, shared, or built on that work. A small milestone, but it means a lot. https://t.co/7ioQT8YbAh
