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.

This collection aims to reveal perspectives from multiple disciplines and focuses on scholars, educators, historians, and journalists who will look back at the historical, month-long tournament to see how the global sports and social landscapes have been revealed and/or changed as a result of the tournament. 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.

This book aims to bring together contributions from scholars globally from a number of academic fields, including event studies, sociology, cultural studies, geography, sport and leisure, tourism, among others, which focus on a variety of different event contexts. 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.

This book will present an overview of the increasing shift within global, elite-level women’s sport to move towards professionalisation.  Each case study included in the collection will highlight the complex, multi-faceted and at times problematic nature of women’s involvement in professional sport.  The collection will pay attention to the intersectional nature of women’s varied experiences in professional spor.

This anthology represents a consciously interdisciplinary approach to sport that accounts for its centrality and multiplicity of meaning in contemporary society. To that end, the collection reflects the many corollaries of sport studies (sport philosophy, history, sociology, literature, etc.) by inviting treatments of the topic from diverse critical viewpoints.

This volume defines strength sports as activities in which the competition outcomes depend exclusively on the individual capacity to move weight. We are seeking submissions across disciplines and thus, from a variety of vantage points, this edited volume will map the ideological landscape of strength sports to understand its potential for insurgent gender practices and the importance for studying sport for feminist social change.

How do we perceive our selves and our bodies in relation to our physical, geographical, social, cultural, political, psychological, and spiritual environments? The editor seeks chapter proposals that use intersectional methodological and theoretical frameworks to examine political and socio-historical discourses that have shaped bodywork in Canadian society.
