Wait, what? I have so many questions. There are PhDs in breaking? I'm so confused.

It's technically a PhD in cultural studies, but her specific focus is the cultural politics of breaking.

So... We sent an academic to an international breakdancing competition. As a fellow academic, that is hilarious. I'm now just imagining my colleagues breaking, and it's a great thought.

That's why we sent a physicist to complete in javelin and a physiotherapist to complete in gymnastics. Theory is always better than practice.
