> In partnership with the Scottish Football Association, 'Fandom, Media and Gender in Scotland's "National" Game' will investigate the representational and discursive framing of Scotland's men's and women's national teams as well as football fans' engagement with the national teams and players in both 'live' and 'mediated' contexts. It investigates how the Scottish men's and women's national teams are promoted, represented and discursively framed as well the kind of fan engagement with the national teams and players this promotes and enables. This project will identify existing promotional and audience engagement strategies, and examine fans as both audience members and as participants in media cultures through a series of focus groups. It will investigate patterns of engagement, motivations, pleasures and questions of community and identity.
