The aims of this special issue are twofold: (1) to understand the consequences of citizenship hopping on broader citizenship rights; and (2) to situate the transnational athlete in the contested terrain of global labour migration. Historical case studies of the targeted responses by nations to the transnational athlete will allow for a deeper understanding of the narrative power of sport to dictate broader social movements for self-determination, national identity, and citizenship rights.

The interdisciplinary field of study ‘Cycling and Society’ represents a part of mobility studies. Cycling studies start from a critique of ‘automobility’, the dominant paradigm of contemporary mobility. They try to outline post-car mobility scenarios and focus on ’velomobility’. With the aim of contributing to this field of study, this call for papers invites articles focusing on the increasing mediatization and platformization of the experience of cycling.

We invite papers that contribute to and extend the debate surrounding the inclusion of lifestyle sports in physical education, at primary (elementary) and/or secondary (high) school level, either by revisiting or rethinking what is currently known about lifestyle sports and applying this to the PE context or by considering new and innovative methods and ways for incorporating lifestyle sports in PE.

Svenska idrottshistoriska föreningens (SVIF:s) årsskrift Idrott, historia & samhälle är ett vetenskapligt forum för idrottshistoria i Norden. ”Historia” kan tolkas brett och tidskriften välkomnar bidrag inom områden som rör sport, kroppskultur, hälsa, friluftsliv, media, genus och andra samhällsvetenskapliga och humanistiska ämnen med historiskt perspektiv.

This special issue raises such questions as: Is there evidence that hosting a mega-event pushes countries to embrace international standards for workers’ rights and human rights? Does hosting a mega-event help raise living standards or reduce public financial capacity to address pressing social needs? Do mega-events leave behind infrastructure that facilitates productivity growth or merely ‘white elephants’ and diminished social housing?

Within this special issue of ESMQ, we seek to expand the scope of individual-level brand research within the sport industry and advance knowledge pertaining to: (1) how individuals in the sport industry develop and manage their brands; and (2) how such brand development and management influences, and is influenced by, related brands (e.g., other individuals, teams, leagues, sponsors, communities). Specifically, we call for further research on brands that operate at an individual, rather than collective, level.

Critical trans scholarship is particularly well-positioned to unpack its social, political, economic, and cultural manifestations and implications. We invite sports studies scholars and trans studies scholars alike to theorize and examine trans phenomena in competitive athletics, physical culture, and any other sports-related activities. Guest Editors are CJ Jones, Purchase College, State University of New York, and Travers, Simon Fraser University.

The aim of this special issue is to situate traditional games in the modern sporting landscape. The continued relevance and adherence of traditional games provides a key site for analysing the juncture between traditionalism and modernism. Sports and games are the somatic cultural heritage of society. The physical cultures of our pasts and futures are indelible markers of our relationships with our bodies, our genders, our ethnicities, and our social surroundings.

Given the vast range of issues within and surrounding college sport, it is timely and important to have a special issue that explores historical and contemporary instances of activism in and through college sport, their impacts, and the future trajectory of these efforts. Empirical, conceptual, methodological, and theoretical submissions are encouraged. In this special issue, we invite scholars to offer critical examinations of different types of activism exhibited by individuals, groups, and institutions connected to college sport.

If esports and gaming strive to be an international and inclusive activity for everyone, then understanding the diversity of electronic gaming and esports and how they intersect with essential topics such as gender, identity, racism, multiculturalism, equality, accessibility, inclusion, sustainability, environmentalism, globalism (and glocalism), just to name a few, are of utmost importance. We are interested in submissions from any discipline.
