This Special Issue would allow interdisciplinary, international, and Global South scholars working in Sociology of Leisure to present research which explores the diverse and different aspects of the diasporic phenomenon. We further invite scholarly work that critically explore the concept of ‘diaspora’ within Sociology of Leisure research. ‘Diaspora’ is an enigma, with its attendant questions of cultural, racial, and social identification and affiliation, of lineage and identity, of story and memory, and indeed, of participation, representation, and socialisation in multicultural societies.

The theme of this special issue is “Building a Community of Champions” highlighting and promoting a civic engagement perspective which engages, advocates, and supports communities of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) in addressing the national, regional, and local evolving health-related issue of drowning. Aquatic Settings have been a pivotal focal point of social justice, water safety, and public health not only in the past but our present

We are expecting submissions that counter the idea that positive development occurs simply through sport programs providing spaces where youth who have been othered can temporarily avoid the environments that place them at a disadvantage, or “stay out of trouble.” And we seek work that enacts discourse and informs theory to examine the problematic focus on the individual navigation of discriminatory systems as developmental. We encourage submissions that not only challenge the field to examine the sociopolitical environment youth inhabit, but also demonstrate how scholars can engage in the transformation of the field.

Given the popularity of sport, it is clear to see why strongman political leaders (e.g., Bolsonaro, Orbán, or Trump), who harken to hegemonic masculine forms, have looked to the sporting realm as a means of augmenting their popular appeal. However, beyond sport, in the broader realm of physical culture - encompassing traditional games, fitness and calisthenics, dance forms, and recreational activities - little has been explored or scrutinized.

This special issue of the Sport in Society journal is located at the crossroads of the sociology of sport and the sociology of work and aims to partially fill these gaps in knowledge. We welcome abstracts applying diverse theoretical and methodological approaches within the sociological discipline, as well as studies from the perspectives of other social sciences (anthropology, economics, philosophy).

Gennem de sidste år har vi fået oparbejdet en større kvantitativ og kvalitativ national viden om, hvilke idræts-motiver og barrierer mennesker med nedsat funktionsevne oplever. Til trods for vores større viden, ser det ikke ud til, at forskere, forbund og praktikere endnu har løst de inklusions- og deltagelsesudfordringer som denne målgruppe og idrætslivet sammen står overfor. Derfor har vi på redaktionen for Forum for Idræt taget initiativ til et temanummer om idræt blandt mennesker med nedsat funktionsevne.
