In 2021, sport media scholars Danielle Coombs and Molly Yanity edited and published a 15-chapter collection entitled 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup: Media, Fandom, and Soccer’s Biggest Stage- As the Women’s World Cup is wrapping up South of the equator for the first time as Australia and New Zealand have hosted one wild mega-event, Coombs and Yanity believe the tournament is a perfect palette for the study of women’s sport, media, and fandom -- and they want your chapter pitches.

We invite submissions that discuss the Soccer “World Cups” as a historical, political, and aesthetic unit of analysis. How do World Cups shape a certain sense of national identity; how it is used for political purposes (as a state machine as well as resistance); what kind of artistic production surrounds them and what are their intended and non-intended meanings (from songs to advertisements to posters and poems, etc.); how are class, race, and gender relevant (or not) in all these processes.

Seeking contributions for a forthcoming anthology on sports and food (University of Arkansas Press), a first of its kind collection to feature perspectives on the myriad ways that sport and food are intertwined in media, cultural spaces, material culture, and everyday practices. This interdisciplinary project will explore topics at the intersection of sport and food from social, cultural, and historical perspectives.

This text comes at a significant time in the context of a growing marketplace for commercialised and franchised sport and PA in the UK and elsewhere for the under-fives.

Abstracts are sought for a collection of essays on any philosophical topic related to skateboarding (i.e., vert, street, or any other form of skateboarding) to be published with McFarland and Company, Inc.

The aim of this publication is to establish a dialogue between different approaches to its titular theme, Bodies, Gender, Identities, with a focus on all Asian cultures and societies as well as their diasporic manifestations. We welcome contributions that address any issue related to the theme, such as the governance of life; embodiment and affect; gendered experiences; gender diversity and sexualities; performance and the construction of identities; social and cultural practices concerning birth and death, food, spirituality, love and intimacy, pain, etc.

Taking the timely but historically-rooted entanglements between the three – body, politics and nation seriously, we are particularly interested in submissions that highlight how the state and capitalism in their neoliberal iterations seek to control, mould, and discipline the body along the axes of gender, caste, race, sexuality, income etc. in their pursuit of power and profit.
