The editors of the Sport & Society Teaching Pocketbook Series invite the submission of book proposals.Launched in 2022, the series aims to introduce readers to relevant topics, theories, and concepts within the humanities of sport, offering an affordable alternative to the traditional textbooks used in university teaching. The books areproduced in both an e-book and a softcover format and have a “pocket book” length of 25,000 to 35,000 words. An online platform connects the series’ book to an online repository, where additional learning and teaching materials are provided.

The call invites scholars, practitioners, and educators. We welcome submissions from authors at any career stage and particularly encourage early-career researchers and teaching academics to submit a proposal.
What is the deadline for submissions?
The deadline for proposals to be emailed to the series editors is 31 March 2025, krieger@ph.au.dk.
What should the submission include?
The proposals should contain the names, affiliations, and brief CVs (a maximum of 1 page of A4) for each of the authors, the topic and title of the proposed book, an extended abstract (a maximum of 500 words), and a proposed table of contents.
