Literature Review on Women in Motorsports (Mike Stocz)

This episode of The Logbook introduces a literature review focusing on the representation of women in motorsport within academic research. Conducted by Mike Stocz, an Assistant Director at the University of New Hampshire, the study delves into peer-reviewed articles from EBSCOhost and Google Scholar databases. The research employs the PRISMA methodology to filter down from millions of potential articles to a final sample size of 12 relevant peer-reviewed works. Key themes identified in these articles include gendered motor sports, academic work environments, exertion, and exclusion. The presenter highlights the historical and current challenges faced by women in the domain, pointing out a significant gap and potential for further academic inquiry into the history and impact of women in motorsports. Additionally, the script discusses the need for broader and more inclusive search terms in future studies, noting this review as phase one of ongoing research.
