Dr Eilis Lanclus
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow
KU Leuven
Eilis Lanclus holds a PhD in Social and Cultural Anthropology (2023) from KU Leuven, Belgium and is currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow with SCAN at Loughborough University.
Her doctoral research focused on the contemporary meanings and values of endurance through the lens of ultra-trail running and walking in Belgium. Her postdoctoral work focuses on human-environment relations in trail sports such as trail running, hiking, and off-road cycling. Through a sensory ethnography, she examines how trail sport participants in the UK engage with the trails and natural environments in which they practice their sports. Her research interests are situated at the intersection of anthropology of sports, leisure, environment, endurance, and sensory ethnography.
During their Fellowship, Dr Lanclus is collaborating with Dr Mark Doidge from the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences
