C&S is a cutting-edge peer-reviewed quarterly that publishes research to foster international scholarly understanding of the nexus of communication and sport that engages a broad intellectual community. The Forum Editor’s pick from the current issue: “I Was in a Position to Enact Change:” College Athletes’ Use of Social Media for Racial and Social Justice by Tomika Ferguson, Evan Frederick, Letisha Brown, Yannick Kluch, Meg Hancock and Nina Siegfried.

Derek Silva & Liam Kennedy’s edited collection Power Played: A Critical Criminology of Sport (UBC Press) convincingly argues that modern sport can be characterized by unequal and problematic power relations that are inextricably linked to issues of violence, harm, deviance, and punishment. We asked Tony B. Mickelsson for a review, and he delivered a thorough and insightful presentation and evaluation of an impressive endeavor worth reading, with many strengths and only (very) minor weaknesses.
