In this special issue we want to build upon work that has focused on exploring the boundaries of leisure and innovation. To adapt to future consumer expectations, significant transformational impacts are likely to occur in the fields of marketing, tourism, leisure, events, hospitality, citizen/government interaction, health, workplace, education, and social networks We are interested in receiving papers that explore and examine the numerous challenges that remain.

In multifarious non-structured ways, human leisure entangles with animal life without any pre-design or mediation. These entanglements create outcomes that may be welcomed or not, beneficial or not, dangerous or not, divisive or not, for all participants, both animal and human. We invite papers, therefore, for a special issue of the World Leisure Journal that focuses on the unstructured entanglements of animals and human leisure.

In this special issue, we seek to interrogate the current sociopolitical moment on questions of gender inclusivity in sport (including physical activity, physical play, physical cultures, and other embodied practices) particularly relating to questions around sex/gender/sexuality binaries, colonial/racist legacies, and scientism. We welcome papers addressing multiple levels of sport (i.e., youth, interscholastic, recreational, club, collegiate, semi-professional, and professional) and scholarship from across the globe, especially submissions written within and focusing upon the Global South.

This special issue welcomes theoretical, empirical, experimental, and case study research contributions. These contributions should clearly address the theoretical and practical implications of the research in reference. Both conceptual and empirical work are welcome. The event-related technology enabled competitiveness and experiences can be viewed under a variety of prisms.

This special issue seeks to explore such complexities and environmental issues surrounding the Games. We welcome theoretical, empirical, and conceptual submissions from a broad range of disciplines (history, sociology, anthropology, environmental studies, philosophy). While broad, we hope this special issue will capture the array of connections between climate change, physical culture, and the Olympics.

With the exploits of early sports practitioners and adventurers, the tourist development of certain sports sites led to urbanization or gentrification, which poses other environmental preservation and social concerns. Relationships with the “natural” world are shaped by cultures and this special issue invites reflection on how nature sport has been a medium for such expressions and contestations.

The goal of this research topic is to illuminate and further advance scientific understandings of these political debates (and others related to sport and the climate crisis). It seeks to unpack the geographical, cultural, sociological and/or organizational contexts in which these debates occur, the stakeholders involved, the issues at stake (money, prestige, control, brands, etc.) and the implications of these debates for moving sport closer to addressing the climate crisis.

While event attendance and media consumption received a great deal of attention from scholars, there is a growing understanding that sports fans interact, both physically and digitally, with their favorite teams in numerous other ways. At the same time, research also demonstrated a positive relationship between fan identification and self-esteem. Thus, the aim of this Research Topic is to explore fan behaviors in many different areas, involving sports media and the (ever-changing) digital environment.

The Journal of Teaching in Physical Education is pleased to announce a call for manuscripts for a special issue entitled “Emergent, Novel, and Non-Traditional Qualitative Research Methods: Beyond the Interview.” This special issue will highlight new and exciting forms of qualitative research that aim to answer important questions for the field of physical education while reconceptualizing qualitative data collection and analysis.

This call encourages submissions from papers exploring public management issues in the empirical context of global sporting mega-events (such as the Olympic Games, the FIFA World Cup, or Commonwealth Games). Papers may address any aspect of such events, so long as the underlying focus remains on public management and its related theories. The SI thus appeals to the core readership of PMR as well offering novelty to attract a broader audience.
