JSSI brings you the latest research, discussion and analysis on contemporary sport issues. In JSSI scholars study the impact of sport on social issues from many perspectives. The Forum Editor’s pick from the current issue: “It Doesn’t Matter How You Identify, You Can Still Skate With Us”: Gender Inclusivity in Women's Flat Track Roller Derby by Hannah Kettley-Linsell, Janine K.
