The hunger and thirst for sport physical activities of all kinds among diverse populations globally have been demonstrated via the increasing numbers in highly structured competitions such as the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Special Olympics, Gay Games, and Senior Games to name a few. Yet, others choosing less competitive sport and physical activities seek inclusion as well. This book provides an opportunity for scholars to contribute to our theoretical and applied understanding of the many ways in which sport and physical activities can be engaged in by diverse groups globally.

A tribute is a celebration. And in this anthology, we seek to celebrate the beauty of the horse, its freedom, its strength, kindness, character and all the symbolic attributes and characteristics that we admire in its indomitable spirit. Celebrating the horse and the horse culture means trying to dialogue with all the worlds it inhabits, from the pastures where it still works, to sport, therapy, in a word, to think and research in all its multidimensionality.

The Other Everests Research Network calls for contributions as chapters to a collected volume of essays to reassess the historical and cultural significance of Mount Everest in the modern world.  Everest has become a well-known site for mountaineers in search of the ‘third pole’, high-altitude adventure, or individual dreams and desires. The centenary of the British expeditions in the 1920s is an opportune moment to reassess the social, political, economic, and environmental dynamics at work in this longer history.

This anthology aims to examine pro wrestling in the pandemic to bring into relief issues and questions about art and entertainment, industry, communication, sociality, labor, precarity, bodies and physicality, and care under the uncertain conditions of late capitalism and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.We invite submissions from across disciplines.

The main topics of this book are the impact and the challenges of metaverse for Health and Training; Sports Law and Rights; Sports Industry, Media and Sports Management; Philosophical and sociological approach; and more. The chapters can be written either in Spanish or in English. The coordinators of the book are Luisa Ávila da Costa, Migle Laukyte and José Luis Pérez Triviño.

In this edited volume, we bring together chapters from a variety of experts to critically discuss the practicalities of “doing” participatory research in sport and exercise. The focus on “how to” conduct this kind of research is novel and represents an important resource for students and researchers interested in diverse approaches to knowledge production. The volume will be a timely and useful resource for a variety of graduate level methodology courses in these disciplines.

When positioned alongside the ever-expanding disciplines of lifestyle sport and cycling studies writ large, mountain biking remains conspicuous by its absence. The intention of this collection, which will be the first of its kind, is to showcase and promote the excellent work being done by existing scholars in this field, whilst advancing and stretching our conceptual and empirical understanding of contemporary mountain bike culture(s).

Dr Fiona Skillen (Glasgow Caledonian University), Dr Gary James (De Montfort University) and Helena Byrne are proposing an edited collection on the history of the growth and development of women’s football in Britain and Ireland between 1845 and 1990. We are therefore asking for abstracts from interested authors by January 2nd, 2022. We are interested in receiving abstracts on a variety of topics.

The collection will enable event management educators and learners to get access to a variety of teaching and learning practices. The scope of the case may vary contingent on the theory applied, the extent for use in a classroom, and pedagogical requisites. The goal is to be inclusive and comprise as many cases covering from a critical perspective various policy, functional and operational issues of event management and/or its intersection with tourism.

The editors seek manuscripts that critically engage issues related to football/soccer and diaspora. This may include topics that heighten our understanding of: (a) migration, acculturation, and assimilation; (b) sport, identity, and representation; (c) the construction and accomplishment of nationality; (d) sport and football fandom; (e) and nationhood, citizenship, and politics. We welcome cross-disciplinary research from anthropological, communication, cultural, historical, psychological, political and sociological perspectives.
