The editors of the Sport & Society Teaching Pocketbook Series invite the submission of book proposals.Launched in 2022, the series aims to introduce readers to relevant topics, theories, and concepts within the humanities of sport, offering an affordable alternative to the traditional textbooks used in university teaching. The books areproduced in both an e-book and a softcover format and have a “pocket book” length of 25,000 to 35,000 words. An online platform connects the series’ book to an online repository, where additional learning and teaching materials are provided.

To support the range of options, and flexibility needed in our current climate, we will offer a blended conference experience. You do not need to commit either to a place-based or virtual presentation at the time of submission. You can present both ways, or change your mode of the presentation if your preferences change. The choice to participate virtually could also be a moral decision – for the planet, for security, or when the financial burden of travel is too great.

Following the “first wave” of the Covid-19 global pandemic, which locked down many regions of the globe and led to the cancellation of sport events and fitness facilities around the world, sport began to restart. The associated challenges, costs, successes, and failures of reopening sport and fitness in the Covid-19 era are the focus of our edited collection “Restart” – Sport After the Covid-19 Lockdown in Commonground’s Covid-19 and Sport series.
