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. Sedan 2012 publiceras referentgranskade artiklar (”peer-review”) skrivna på skandinaviska språk eller engelska.

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.

In order to encourage the contribution of new generations of scholars to the scientific debate, The International Spectator currently welcomes the submission of proposals for THEMATIC SPECIAL CORES of 4-6 articles on the topic of “Sport and International Relations” by teams of young scholars (under 35 years of age), to be considered for publication in the journal. Proposals shall focus on any aspect of the multifaceted relationship between Sport and International Relations.

For this special issue we are particularly interested in empirical research that demonstrates clear theoretical contributions to advance our understanding of contemporary institutional work scholarship. Drawing on recent reviews we feel there are several themes that present opportunities to leverage distinctive empirical opportunities within sport and contribute to broader theoretical discussions around agency in institutional scholarship.
