One of the universities that was being funded was "Macquarie University". This is where Rachel (Raygun) Gunn works at. Raygun is the PhD breakdancing professor that went to the Paris Olympics and rolled around on the ground like a retard, scoring herself zero points.
There is a lot more to this story then just a DEI hire making a fool of herself. Before her government funded Olympic side-hustle, Raygun was a 'gender studies' nutjob that somehow became a uni professor on a 6 figure salary.
Rachael Gunn is an interdisciplinary and practice-based researcher interested in the cultural politics of breaking. She holds a PhD in Cultural Studies (2017) and a BA (Hons) in Contemporary Music (2009) from Macquarie University. Her work draws on cultural theory, dance studies, popular music studies, media, and ethnography.
Here is her Thesis - made up entirely of DEI buzzwords, just complete nonsense:
Deterritorializing gender in Sydney's breakdancing scene:
This thesis critically interrogates how masculinist practices of breakdancing offers a site for the transgression of gendered norms. Drawing on my own experiences as a female within the male-dominated breakdancing scene in Sydney, first as a spectator, then as an active crew member, this thesis questions why so few female participants engage in this creative space, and how breakdancing might be the space to displace and deterritorialise gender. I use analytic autoetthnography and interviews with scene members in collaboration with theoretical frameworks offered by Deleuze and Guttari, Butler, Bourdieu and other feminist and post-structuralist philosophers, to critically examine how the capacities of bodies are constituted and shaped in Sydney's breakdancing scene, and to also locate the potentiality for moments of transgression. In other words, I conceptualize the breaking body as not a 'body' constituted through regulations and assumptions, but as an assemblage open to new rhizomatic connections. Breaking is a space that embraces difference, whereby the rituals of the dance not only augment its capacity to deterritorialize the body, but also facilitate new possibilities for performativities beyond the confines of dominant modes of thought and normative gender construction. Consequently, this thesis attempts to contribute to what I perceive as a significant gap in scholarship on hip-hop, breakdancing, and autoethnographic explorations of Deleuze-Guattarian theory.

Bonus video evidence: Raygun made a recent guest appearance at a trannie club. She fell flat on her face while trying to dance.
