Through critically informed narrative analysis of contemporary literature, films, web series, advertisements, newspaper columns, and social media postings, among others, Female Body Image in Contemporary Indian Literature and Popular Culture attempts to bring together essays that highlight how millions of Indian women languish under the everyday experience of beauty labor hoping to appear normatively beautiful.

This proposed edited volume adds much-needed literature to sports, popular culture, East Asian studies, and Asian American studies. We are looking for chapters that focus on the importance of sports in various cultural and media contexts, how East Asian and Asian American athletes have been used to define and redefine racial and gender boundaries, and how these same athletes embody “Asian-ness,” “American-ness” and/or “Other-ness” in their media representations.

In light of the extensive impact on international sport and the differing responses, Common Ground will publish a two-books series on sport and the coronavirus crisis over the next several months.

The second book “Restart” – Sport After Corona will analyze the consequences of the pandemic for sport.

This edited collection aims to provide a comprehensive multidisciplinary overview of athlete activism. While athletes as ‘activists’ – broadly defined – is not necessarily a new area of study, it has commanded a significant range of both scholarly and media attention in recent years. High-profile figures from across elite sport have lent their voices in an attempt to influence a variety of social, political, ethical and/or environmental issues.

The book hopes to combine academic and popular approaches to a multitude of topics to present a kaleidoscope of perspectives.

Is MMA a true martial art? Is MMA an art form? In mere decades, MMA, mixed martial arts, has exploded as a worldwide phenomenon, a sport as controversial as it is compelling, one that demands serious philosophical attention. Abstracts are sought for a prospective anthology on the philosophical significance of MMA. An editor at Routledge has expressed interest in receiving a full proposal, to be submitted once abstracts have been finalized.

The idea behind this collection is to look at sport through the eyes of a legal scholar and, conversely, legal scholars often allude to themes from sports or games to illuminate jurisprudential problems. There is recognition that law and sports (as games) bear strong similarities. Both can be understood as systems of rules, with a judge/referee who has the power to issue punishments/penalties. And the rules of cricket, football and rugby are known as ‘laws’ in English.

It will also aim to capture the diversity of family forms (e.g., lone-parent, reconstituted, gay/non-traditional) which hitherto are rarely considered within a single volume.
