The «Journal of Global Sport Management» invites submissions for a Special Issue on “Sustainability in Global Sport: Environmental, Social, and Economic Futures and Governance”. This special issue invites submissions that critically examine sustainability across the event lifecycle, moving beyond rhetorical commitments toward meaningful, lasting, and actionable outcomes. We look forward to receiving your submissions and to furthering academic dialogue on sustainability within the global sport landscape across environmental, social, economic, and governance dimensions.

A People’s History of Sport in Canada aims to inject new histories into the narrative arc of Canadian sport history. Motivated by Azoulay’s (2019:289) notion of “potential history”, it “strives to retrieve, reconstruct, and give an account of diverse worlds.” Informed by intersectionality and a focus on the community level, this special issue will highlight sport as a social and cultural practice. The articles will explore the sport, recreation, and play experiences of the peoples of Canada in a way that reflects class, gender, ability, racial, and geographic diversity and intersections.

Narratives intertwining sport culture with popular romance have steadily grown in popularity throughout the last fifty years. Increasingly, popular romance set against the backdrop of elite athleticism and featuring one, if not two or more, professional athletes, have become a substantial facet of the romance literary and media landscape. Despite the significant success of this subgenre of popular romance, scholarly investigations have thus far been limited. This special issue therefore is devoted to igniting wide-ranging, exploratory and original discussion on the topic of sport romance.

Contributions to this Special Issue will help further define and establish relevant theory and analytic frameworks that guide the explicit acknowledgement and study of race, racism, and anti-racism within the field of sport management. Through the exploration of these concepts, we challenge authors who submit to the Special Issue to heed to Wendy Frisby’s call for more critical social science (CSS) organizational research in the field and consider theories on race, racism, and related critical paradigms/frameworks (e.g., critical race theory, CRT, and its various extensions).

This special issue seeks contributions that explore the histories of women in football in all their complexity and at all levels. We welcome papers that expand, challenge, and reimagine dominant historical narratives, that highlight lesser-known experiences from across the world, and speak to the experiences of all who shape the sport. In particular, we encourage authors to situate their work in relation to the political, social, and cultural significance of major tournaments past and present, including the rapidly evolving global profile of the women’s game leading into 2027 and 2028.

This special issue arrives at an opportune moment for sport management. While other established fields—including management, psychology, finance, and information technology—have published null results special issues, this represents the first such effort in sport management. Therefore, we are making a special call for manuscripts with null results. This will allow purposeful review of research with null results that are most likely to provide important context for sport management scholars to calibrate theory and uncertainty over results in the literature.

All manuscripts must focus on elite athletes navigating the emerging adulthood developmental period and address the unique setting of athletic careers in which EA athletes are nested. Athletes competing at high levels of sport, including but not limited to premier or major professional leagues, professional developmental and minor leagues, and collegiate/quasi-professional athletics, are the primary focus of this Special Issue. Recreational, intramural, or lower-intensity sport contexts fall outside the scope of this Special Issue and will not be considered.

Sport, History and Society, in Swedish Idrott, historia & samhälle, is a peer-reviewed academic publication of sport history, leisure and recreation seated in Sweden and Scandinavia. Its scope, however, goes beyond the borders of Scandinavia, and we publish articles in English as well as in Scandinavian languages. Sport, History and Society invites prospective contributions from across the globe. 

We welcome articles that consider women’s roles as athletes, coaches, officials, administrators, investors, athletic therapists, journalists, fans and even legislators. Submissions may focus on any chronological period and any geographic region and may centre amateur, community, professional and/or elite level of play. We are particularly interested in submissions offering critical analyses on how sexuality, age, race/racism, nationalism, feminism, or faith might have shaped women’s opportunities and experiences in basketball, including the organizational power of the gender binary itself.
