This special issue of the World Leisure Journal will address leisure and aging internationally. While free time itself may have changed with the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, leisure behaviors and patterns have also shifted dramatically. We have seen a drastic reduction to leisure, with the pandemic affecting everything from international travel to opportunities for connection that typically occur in social leisure spaces.

This special issue aims to provide new knowledge and insights into refugees’ lived experiences and journeys across all levels of sport – from grassroots to elite, and will also provide a platform to better understand and showcase the contributions by refugees to local and global sports cultures, and to highlight the relevance of sport as a lens through which it is possible to reveal, interrogate, and address practices, narratives, and policies regarding forced migration.

Friluftsliv er et betydelig samfunnsfenomen, i Norge og Norden, som vi finner igjen bl.a. i skoleverkets læringsplaner og i tilknytning til ulike dannelsesmål innenfor en lang rekke organisasjoner og offentlige virksomheter. I alle disse sammenhengene er det et stort behov for kunnskap og opplæring. Et formål med dette temanummeret er derfor å styrke friluftsliv som forskningsfelt, samt å kople friluftslivet enda sterkere til utdanningsfeltet.

This special issue will examine the history of sportswear and sports equipment as technology by focusing on the development and distribution of sporting goods, on processes of standardization, as well as their popularization. These lines of inquiry also open up questions about the materiality of the objects themselves: their function, the values attached to them, and their power to shape sport.

Legal environments, compliance rules/policies, and other regulatory dynamics are key determinants for governance in sport. Court decisions and new legislations establish external parameters within which sport organizations are operated. Encountering the unprecedented economic hardship caused by the recent pandemic, special consideration will be given to articles discussing the effects of the Covid-19 crisis.

The COVID-19 pandemic has upended all areas of life, and sports is no exception. Social distancing measures, brought in to limit the spread of coronavirus, have had a significant effect on sporting fixtures and participation. This special issue was initially solicited before the outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis; the Guest Editors have re-opened this call for papers to further consider valuable manuscripts dealing with COVID-19 and related economic issues in sport management.
