The Sport and Human Rights book series aims to encourage and promote high-quality research on one of the most important issues in contemporary sport: sport’s impact on human rights. Featuring the work of established and emerging scholars and practitioners from around the world, from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and employing a spectrum of methodological approaches, the series examines the positive and negative human rights impacts that sport can have, from mega-events to grassroots, but also explores sport’s potential to be a force for good and to have a positive impact on human rights and society.

This new book series showcases critical scholarship on race and/or racisms in sport and welcomes contributions from emerging and established scholars from the Global South and Global North. It is multi-disciplinary in scope, platforming research from all disciplines including sport studies, business, and management; as well as work from sociology, literature, history, philosophy, geography, feminism, cultural studies, politics, media studies, leisure studies, disability studies, ethnic studies, and beyond.

The editors of the Sport & Society Teaching Pocketbook Series invite the submission of book proposals.Launched in 2022, the series aims to introduce readers to relevant topics, theories, and concepts within the humanities of sport, offering an affordable alternative to the traditional textbooks used in university teaching. The books areproduced in both an e-book and a softcover format and have a “pocket book” length of 25,000 to 35,000 words. An online platform connects the series’ book to an online repository, where additional learning and teaching materials are provided.

The Routledge Practicing Oral History book series invites proposals for titles on applying oral history in our complex, contemporary world. Much has changed since our first title was published fourteen years ago, in technology, methodology and recent history. We are here to meet the moment and to bring new titles with the most current best practices to practitioners in areas where oral history might be used.

Routledge is inviting proposals for a new strand of short books in Routledge's longstanding ‘Ethics and Sport’ series.

Research in the Sociology of Sport (RSS) reflects the current themes in the sociology of sport and also captures innovative trends as they emerge in the work of scholars across the globe. The series brings together research from experts on established topics whilst also directing attention to themes that are at the ’cutting-edge' of this sub-discipline. 

This series seeks to reconnect media-centric Game Studies to the disciplines it had to distance itself from in its foundation, such as literary studies or film studies, in an attempt to use their differences and contact zones in a mutually productive dialogue. In this endeavor, the series is committed to a decidedly global scope as it assembles perspectives from different cultural and academic contexts.

The books in this series will examine our understanding of race, gender, and the role education is playing in assisting in the global institutionalization of these social constructions. The goal of this series is to inform sport enthusiasts, college students, social justice oriented educators and researchers, policy makers, and other stakeholders about the role sport has in contributing to informing cultural ideology.

This series publishes monographs, edited collections and reprints of classic studies on the history and the contemporary role of sport, primarily in Britain and Europe but including other parts of the world. The editors wish to make available the very best of recent doctoral and post-doctoral work in the subject area whilst also looking to established scholars for major new books or collections of articles.

The editors of the Rowman & Littlefield Sports Icons and Issues in Popular Culture Series are currently accepting proposals for volumes focused on sports stars and how they reflect and influence not only their sport, but also broader popular culture.
