Tag: CfP Anthology

The editor of this anthology invites previously unpublished papers on social issues in esports. The book is signed for publication with Routledge and already includes 14 chapters organised in four thematic parts: 1) Integrity issues, 2) Physical and mental health, 3) Gender, ethnicity, and social inequality, 4) Ethics and policy. The editor is seeking proposals for chapters that may add to the themes included in this collection.

Case topics may include, but are not limited to the Black Lives Matter movement; the COVID-19 pandemic, race, gender, politics & religion, corporate social responsibility; sex abuse and domestic violence; online gaming; corruption; corporate sponsorships; gays, lesbians transgender and bi-sexual issues; team name controversies; body image issues; and, tarnished images of sports figures.

As a part of the WASM book series of research papers that are published by Routledge, this book provides an opportunity for scholars and practitioners to review, comprehend, and/or analyze various topic areas relating to digital marketing in sports (e.g., social media, online advertising, digital analytics, content marketing, influencer marketing, online PR and communications).

Contributors to this book will document and analyse developments in all levels of sport, from recreational to high performance, using an approach that takes into account trans athletes’ multiple axes of identity and geopolitical locations. We invite scholars at all stages in their careers to send a 200-300 word abstract outlining their proposed chapter by June 7th, 2021. Final chapters will be roughly 5,000 words in length. We particularly welcome submissions from Black, Indigenous, trans, and 2-Spirit authors.

Boxing is understood through a set of pervasive and powerful narratives that are insufficiently challenged in popular and academic encounters with the sport. We ask contributors to this collection to critically examine the narrative misconceptions and tropes of boxing, to expand the narrative resources of the sport by drawing upon diverse disciplinary perspectives on the sport. We invite multidisciplinary approaches where boxing is considered in the broadest sense.

Crisis management is the identification of and effective response to threats in order to mitigate any adverse impacts on an organization and its stakeholders. This book provides an opportunity to add to the theoretical and practical understanding of crises in sport organizations through conceptualizing the topics, challenges, issues, and best practices, comprehensive reviews of literature, empirical studies of managing crises, commentary on sport-related crises, and other scholarly inquiries.

The overarching focus of the book is to explore the role athletes have played in raising awareness of and advancing social justice issues. Authors are asked to consider various aspects of athlete involvement and influence, using a wide range of theoretical perspectives. Please note that although the book will provide an early historical chapter as the foundation for exploring athlete activism, it focuses on the past 30 years (1990-present), reaching beyond the Civil Rights era.

The proposed collection will explore the role of the 1972 Summit Series in persisting conceptions of Canadian self-identification. In doing so, we attempt to critically contribute to the existing body of scholarship regarding the summit series. Our project seeks to create a new approach to this seminal event in Canadian sport history by assembling a concert of voices through diverse forms of criticism or storytelling modes.

The purpose of this edited collection is to better understand from an interdisciplinary perspective, the global forces that reshape sport and leisure provision, alongside the responses of key organisations and stakeholders. The volume therefore seeks contributions that account for the trends remodeling sport and leisure, and thus pinpoint advances for theory and practice that ultimately expand the frontiers of sport and leisure management.
